Description

What happens after water leaves our sinks, showers, washing machines, and toilets? Facility professionals will take participants through the wastewater treatment process and explain the science, technology, and day-to-day operations involved in treating Sanibel’s wastewater and protecting public health, water quality, and the island’s environment.

The tours are a collaborative educational effort involving the Island Water Association, City of Sanibel, Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF), and UF/IFAS Extension Lee County Master Gardener Volunteers.

Participants will hear directly from IWA professionals and learn how our drinking water is produced and delivered, as well as the infrastructure, technology, conservation, and stewardship required to provide Sanibel with a safe, reliable water supply.

We're also offering tours of the Island Water Association this year. Learn more here.

Space for both tours is limited to 10 participants, and advance registration is required. Closed-toe shoes are required for each facility.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Founded in 1967, the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF)'s mission is to protect and care for Southwest Florida's coastal ecosystems through our focus on Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration, Water Quality Research, Policy and Advocacy, Sea Turtles and Shorebirds, Native Landscaping, Habitat and Wildlife Management, and Environmental Education.

Thanks to the efforts of many who came before, SCCF is the largest private landowner on Sanibel Island, managing more than 1,800 acres on Sanibel plus over 300 additional acres on surrounding islands and in South Fort Myers and Cape Coral.

Over the last 58 years, SCCF's diverse program areas have grown to include a Marine Laboratory, the Sanibel Sea School, and Coastal Watch.

Community support through membership dues and tax-deductible contributions, in addition to grants and staff-generated revenue, makes our work possible. SCCF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
