« All newsThe center is targeted for LEED platinum certification, the highest level obtainable. It is important that the center educates through programs and exhibits as well as through building design.
During their visit to Brightwater, students will be given the opportunity to learn about wastewater treatment with both built and natural systems. They will be able to see how water is restored after it has been flushed down the toilet or swirled down the kitchen drain, as well as take samples of water from some of the natural systems on site and see how treatment works in the natural environment.
