WOW Pre-Conference Wastewater Plant Tour   

WOW 2025 Pre-Conference Wastewater Plant Tour

The CEU assignment for this tour is currently pending with the DOE.  The amount of CEU will be determined in the near future.

In the meantime, we are opening registraton so that you can reserve your spot, but are not charging for it yet.  Once we have the CEU information, we will call  to confirm your spot and collect the $60 payment. 

The DOH has approved this tour and will grant Waterworks CEU for it consistent with the DOE's Wastewater CEU Credits. So operators who attend this tour will earn both Water and Wastewater CEU.

Join us as we tour the Yakima Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.  Registration for this tour includes transportation from the Yakima Convention Center to the plant and back and a guided tour of the facility. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions of your tour host, a WOW Advisory Team member, as well as of your plant tour guide, a local industry expert and Yakima Waterwater Plant employee.

 About the facility: The responsibilities of the Yakima Regional Wastewater Division include the operation and maintenance of the wastewater collection system, lift stations, and the treatment plant. Responsibilities also include the monitoring of all industrial and commercial users of the system to ensure that substances which could be harmful to the treatment system, or process, are not discharged into the collection system. Currently, the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) treats approximately 10 million gallons per day (MGD), with a peak average of approximately 17 MGD, and has the capacity to treat up to 21.5 MGD. The primary goal of the WWTP is to maintain compliance with environmental regulations related to water quality and to provide services that are related to public health and safety. In addition to adhering to the rules and policy related requirements, the City of Yakima is dedicated to reducing the environmental impact on other parts of the surrounding community by investing in infrastructure that reduces our energy costs, reducing our operation and maintenance costs, improving the quality of safety and health to the public, and maintaining adherence to the City's approved budget and policies.

Join us on this tour to learn more about their plant and their efforts while earning 0.2 CEU.  Space on this tour is limited and will fill quickly!
