H2O HUB - Our water. Our region. Our future.
The H2O Hub is our mobile education trailer, an interactive learning space designed to help our community understand where our water comes from, how it’s treated, and why it matters.
Inside the trailer, you’ll explore how the Urban Water Cycle supports everyday life – from our drinking water sources to treatment, recycling, and the systems that keep water flowing safely to and from our homes.
You’ll also learn how we’re planning ahead to ensure our region has a resilient water future in the face of growth, climate change, and evolving community needs.
Whether you’re curious about how your tap water gets to you, how wastewater is managed, or advanced water treatment options, this experience brings our region’s water story to life.
