The MWRA School Program reaches over 11,000 K-12 children and their teachers both during the school year and through the summer with hands-on, thought-provoking experiments and demonstrations of the importance and health significance of water supply and wastewater treatment. No other program in the state focuses quite as comprehensively on this important resource.
