Curious about where your water comes from, how it’s recycled, and how you can save money while conserving it? West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) is excited to announce its 2026 Water Lab schedule—an engaging lineup of free water recycling facility tours, interactive classes, and virtual chats designed to empower residents with the knowledge of the water infrastructure in their community and how to contribute to a sustainable tomorrow.
The Water Lab program offers tours of the West Basin’s award-winning Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility (ECLWRF) and brings water treatment technology to life. Participants can also explore emerging water technologies by attending a Know Your H2O class or join a virtual West Basin chat to learn about application tips and benefits of taking advantage of West Basin’s popular residential grass replacement rebate program.
