Residents in the Butler area have the opportunity to learn more about what happens with their wastewater thanks to a public tour of a plant happening Saturday, June 7.
The event is hosted by Pennsylvania American Water at the Butler wastewater treatment plant, 100 Litman Road, Butler Township. The open house and tour begins at 10 a.m. and ends at noon.
Guests will be able to participate in a free rain barrel workshop by Pennsylvania Resources Council if signed up, a microscopic look at wastewater treatment, a dye test demonstration and more.
