At ALCOSAN, we're not just treating wastewater – we're also dedicated to spreading knowledge and promoting sustainability. That's why we're committed to developing innovative and creative programs that encourage students, professionals, and communities to learn more about our wastewater treatment process.

Every year ALCOSAN celebrates National Engineers Week in February with outreach and programming for students in grades Pre-K – 8. This is a perfect time to recognize engineers and allow students to explore the design process through a designated STEM activity.
