The City of Los Angeles, as part of its ongoing pollution prevention effort, provides water quality-related educational programs to local schools. Through the Sewer Science Program, the City encourages students to learn more about water quality and their impact on the environment.
The objectives of the Sewer Science Program include:
- Educating students concerning science and technology in relationship to environmental issues;
- Encouraging them to take responsibility for disposal habits; and
- Introducing them to careers in the wastewater industry.
Students will learn the significance of water, the treatment processes, and its impact on the environment.
The original concept of “Sewer Science” came from an inspired Atherton, California science teacher who created it for Palo Alto’s Regional Water Quality Control Plant. The City of Los Angeles adopted the program in 2003. Since then, the City has customized the program to better fit its needs in the areas of the experiment schedule, the student workbook and teacher manuals, and the laboratory test kit.
