The Citizen’s Water Academy (CWA) is an opportunity for Metro Water Services (MWS) customers to #DiscoverWater and learn about our most precious natural resource, water, and how Water Services manages it from “river to river.” Citizen’s Water Academy is an in-person interactive program. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with Water Services Staff and experience the treatment process by touring various Water Services facilities - including our Research and Analytical Laboratory and historic Omohundro Water Treatment Plant.
Through the Academy, we hope to provide a better understanding of Metro Water Services and build a diverse network of leaders and influencers who are willing to share their knowledge in the community and serve as ambassadors for water.
Academy Schedule
The next Citizen’s Water Academy will be held late Spring 2024.
