Field Excursion - On Site Innovations in Water Treatment
Join us for an exclusive, on-site field tour of the West County Wastewater District treatment facility during SF Climate Week, showcasing how next-generation water infrastructure is being implemented at scale.
This curated visit will provide a firsthand look at three major initiatives that position the District at the forefront of climate resilience and water innovation:
A newly completed green levee designed to protect critical infrastructure from rising sea levels while enhancing ecological performance
The “Clean and Green” project, now nearing completion, which will enable the plant to achieve ~93% greenhouse gas reductions and operate at net-zero energy
An exploration of PolyGone Systems‘ first-of-its-kind technology for capturing and recovering microplastics from treated effluent
Event Format:
The session will begin with a short presentation introducing the facility and its innovation roadmap, followed by a guided, on-site tour focused on each of the featured projects. The event will conclude with a casual lunch and networking session with peers across the water, climate, and infrastructure sectors.
Who Should Attend:
This tour is designed for corporate leaders shaping water strategy, startups and innovators looking to understand real-world deployment, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable and resilient water systems.
