Beyond the Fence – Facility Tours

We host plant tours for local schools and wastewater professionals alike. By developing relationships with our community at large, we hope to further our Mission of water quality stewardship in ways that increase connection, understanding, and ultimately lead to changes in behavior that will help our water systems survive through the uncertain times ahead.

As we develop our 20-year infrastructure plan, we anticipate our continued efforts will help us all to understand the importance of our plant operating 24-hours a day — no matter what — so our water is clean and safe in the environment around us.

Please, come join us in these conversations—it’s a team effort to keep what goes down our sinks, showers, and toilets and into the ocean clean! Book a tour of our facility, request an educational seminar, and more online at www.sesd.com/contact-us/.

This is a photo of the 2022 New England Water Environment Association Energy Management Achievement Award. It is made of glass, with a solid white base and a clear glass top. The NEWEA logo is printed on the white base. It is a logo consisting of a white circle with gray, orange, green, and blue semicircles facing the center of it. It has the organization's name spelled around it in gray, and underneath curving up, the phrase, "Working for Water Quality" in green. On the clear glass is printed the award name, the District's name, and the year 2022. You can see all of this at once due to the layered glass. This was awarded to the South Essex Sewerage District in recognition of ten years of energy management and environmental stewardship.
