About OCWD virtual tours
Are you interested in learning about advanced wastewater purification and seeing the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) up close?
As a leader in water reuse and groundwater management, the Orange County Water District receives hundreds of requests annually to provide tours and briefings for visitors from schools, colleges, water agencies, community organizations, the public, elected officials and international groups.
Virtual tour opportunities for all
There’s lots of opportunities to get a virtual, interactive, behind-the-scenes look at the GWRS. All tours have a live Q & A session.
- Public tours are held the first Friday of every month at 10 a.m. (unless otherwise noted) and last approximately 1 hour.
- Customized tours are also available and perfect for school and community groups who need flexibility on dates and times.
- Joint tours with our partner the Orange County Sanitation District are offered bi-annually and last approximately one hour, with presentations by the General Managers of both districts.
To register for a virtual tour, please complete and submit one of the tour registration forms below or contact us to request a custom group tour.
