“I was involved in launching our education service in 1996, which involved making a number of our sites accessible for schools and members of the public to visit. I’m passionate about my work, so I really enjoy leading site tours and teaching students of all ages about the services we provide.”
What do we cover?
We work with hundreds of nurseries, pre-schools, schools, colleges and universities every year to teach children and students about what we do.
We cover a range of topics, including water and sewage treatment, the water cycle, river studies, climate change and much more.
We also aim to educate future customers about how they can help protect the sewer network and the environment by saving water and flushing the correct items down the loo.
