Mesa Water open education center to show students, residents what goes into getting water to taps
… Situated within the Mesa Water District‘s facility on Geisler Avenue, the 2,400-square-foot education center features more than 20 visual and interactive exhibits providing an informative – and even entertaining – A-to-Z lesson on where water comes, how it arrives at the faucet, where it winds up after going down the drain and every step in between. … While the board is holding an official ribbon cutting on March 28, the education center has been open since January, mostly hosting groups related to the water industry and citizens groups, Mesa Water District spokeswoman Kaitlyn Norris said. This center was built with a curriculum that meets Next Generation Science Standards and STEM guidelines and is a premier destination for fifth-grade field trips and tours, district officials said.
