Urban Water Cycle Tour with Metro Water Services

Urban Water Cycle Tour
Inside Nashville’s Water Infrastructure
with Metro Water Services
Saturday, August 29, 2026
10:00 AM – 2:00 PM CST

Join Harpeth Conservancy and Metro Water Services (MWS) for a behind-the-scenes look at Nashville’s urban water cycle with an exclusive tour of MWS’ Whites Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and Stormwater Campus.
We’ll begin with a guided walking tour of the wastewater treatment plant to learn how wastewater from homes and businesses is cleaned and safely returned to the Cumberland River. Then, we’ll visit the Stormwater Campus to explore how MWS manages stormwater, reduces flooding, protects water quality, and maintains the infrastructure that keeps Nashville flowing.
Part of Harpeth Conservancy’s Water Cycle Education Series, this tour offers a rare opportunity to see the systems that keep Nashville’s water clean—from the moment it goes down the drain and when rain falls on our streets to the moment clean water returns to our rivers.

- For security reasons, MWS DOES NOT permit photos inside of the facility gates or on the tour at any time.
