Union Sanitary District Hosts an Open House for the Tri-Cities on Saturday, May 9, 2015

Union Sanitary District is holding an Open House, and everyone in the Tri-Cities is invited! On Saturday, May 9, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the District (USD) will offer FREE family-friendly activities, plant tours, interactive demonstrations, refreshments and more at its Union City treatment plant and headquarters.

“USD is a big part of daily life in the Tri-Cities, but many of our customers aren’t aware of the work we do to protect public health and the environment,” says General Manager Paul Eldredge. “This event is a fun way for people to find out about the District. They’ll have the opportunity to tour our plant, view our green energy projects, and get an up-close look at the specialized equipment and interactive demonstrations we’ll have on display.”

The event is a good opportunity for students to explore careers. “We encourage students of all ages to come and talk to our engineers, plant operators, chemists, collection systems workers, mechanics, electricians, business services staff and more to find out about careers in our industry,” continues Eldredge. “We’ll also have activities that are enjoyable for kids and kids-at-heart.”

“I’m proud that our visitors will have the chance to meet the people who work hard to provide award-winning service every day,” says Eldredge. “We’re honored to have our customers as our guests, and we invite everyone to drop by – no reservations necessary.”

Union Sanitary District operates a 33 million gallon per day wastewater treatment facility in Union City and provides collection, treatment and disposal services to the Tri-City area. The District has been recognized for 21 consecutive years of outstanding performance by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies.

If you’d like to tour the plant during the Open House, wear closed-toed, low-heeled shoes and be prepared for walking and stairs. USD’s Open House display areas are wheelchair-accessible; plant buildings are not. Persons under 16 must be accompanied by an adult on plant tours.
