Effective waste water treatment is one of the most important – and often most overlooked – public health and environmental accomplishments of modern civilization. The public is invited to discover the process by which sewage is treated before it is discharged into the Rocky River. While this is a free event, registration is required. Please contact Jared Bartley at 216-524-6580 x14 or jbartley [at] cuyahogaswcd [dot] org to RSVP or for more information. 

 

The Rocky River Watershed consists of the entire area that drains to the Rocky River when it rains.
