This isn’t the “Magic School Bus” but it’s the closest option we have in the Alamo City. Seat belts everyone as we cruise down main street and inform you about this adult-only field trip opportunity coming from the San Antonio Water System (SAWS).
Field trip fun
The Rain to Drain experience gives Bexar County residents 18+ the chance to explore places not often seen by the general public for a full day. We’re talking visits to the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Cave, experience the inner workings of a SAWS water production facility, and tour a water recycling center.
Don’t miss: The next open session is on Saturday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
What is there to learn?
Do you remember the fun those field trip excursions were in elementary school? Maybe you visited the Alamo, a museum, or even Sea World with the goal of gaining first-hand knowledge.
The same thinking applies to the Rain to Drain experience. Here you’ll be able to grow your understanding of how SAWS ensures safe + reliable drinking water for 1.4 million San Antonians, see where water goes “after the flush,” and learn about our natural water supplier — the Edwards Aquifer.
