Learning the Urban Water Cycle at Alder Creek Middle School


A classroom with students listening to two speakers presenting on nature and possibly environmental topics, featuring slides.

In March 2024, TDPUD teamed up with Truckee Sanitary District and Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation Agency to visit Alder Creek Middle School to teach students about Truckee’s urban water cycle. Our Water Utility Director, Chad, taught them about where their drinking water comes from and what TDPUD does to make sure they have clean, high-quality water. They spoke to about 300 6th grade students over two days. Chad also had them all place a sticker on the water map of where their house is, to illustrate how many households we were able to reach with this program.Â
