Visitors will need to pre-register for a FREE 90-minute slot to visit Jones Island. Jones Island Tours will not be open to walk-up visitors this year.
Visitors will learn about the history of Jones Island, the water reclamation process, MMSD programs, the making of Milorganite®, and Veolia North America. Kids won't want to miss the “workhorses of wastewater," collecting a set of "bug" cards, and getting up close and personal with the big trucks! Visitors will also receive a free 5lb. bag of Milorganite® upon their exit, while supplies last.
Visitors may participate in one or both of the tours that are available on a first come, first served basis:

MMSD does this by providing cost-effective wastewater management at Jones Island and South Shore water reclamation facilities and managing stormwater in our region.
