The event will be open to the general public as well. The free guided tours take place at 1:30 PM and again at 3:30 PM on Wednesday April 8, 2015 at Camp Scott, 3615 Oxford Street.<\/p>\n<p>The Camp Scott Wetlands were constructed to store and treat stormwater runoff on the City&#8217;s southeast side. The stormwater from several neighborhoods around McMillen Park goes to a massive storage tank at the park and is then pumped to the wetlands. The wetlands also provide a natural habitat for song birds, water birds and other animals.<\/p>\n<p>As a River Summit event on Saturday, April 11, 2015, from 10 AM to 2 PM, City Utilities will open the Three Rivers Water Filtration Plant for tours. Residents should enter the grounds at 500 Baltes Avenue, just off Spy Run Avenue.  There is a parking lot near Spy Run and parking closer to the building as well. Staff members will offer free guided tours. <\/p>\n<p>The Filtration Plant, opened in 1933, is an architectural landmark designed in the Collegiate Gothic style. <\/p>\n<p>Today the plant features a state-of-the-art UV disinfection system and is capable of producing 72 million gallons of drinking water each day.<\/p>\n<p>Both of the tour events are free to the public. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, City staff members will lead workshops for the paying attendees of the River Summit on the topics of the Long Term Control Plan &#8211; Deep Rock Tunnel, Urban Water Quality, Riverfront Revitalization and Riverfront Recreational Opportunities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2020-city-utilities-construction-photos\/tMamaJo_hits_3_miles_12-3-2020_crew_photo.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The MamaJo crew posing for a photo after hitting 3 miles of the completed 3RPORT Three Rivers Protection and Overflow Reduction Tunnel on December 3, 2020.
