The Neihu Sewage Treatment Plant, which processes 200,000 tons of domestic sewage daily, is also dedicated to promoting environmental education. In 2023, it was certified by the Ministry of Environment as an “Environmental Education Facility” and launched two programs designed for elementary school students and more advanced learners. Continuing its efforts, the plant has also earned the Ministry of Environment’s Carbon Footprint Label, TAF laboratory accreditation, and the Ministry of Finance’s Golden Thumb Award. On May 1, 2025, the plant will debut its newest curriculum, Adventurous Water Drop, created specifically for senior high school and vocational students. Citizens of all ages are welcome to apply for guided tours and interactive learning experiences.Mr. Sheng-Tsung Hsiao, Director of the Neihu Sewage Treatment Plant, stated that the plant will launch its brand-new educational program, Adventurous Water Drop, on May 1, 2025. This program integrates perspectives from Feitsui Reservoir, the Taipei Water Department’s purification plant, and the sewage treatment process, giving visitors a comprehensive view of the water cycle, from upstream watershed conservation, to midstream purification and distribution, to downstream sewage treatment and water reclamation. In 2023, the Neihu Plant introduced two environmental education programs tailored to different age groups: The Magical House That Makes Water Clean, designed for elementary school students, and The Sustainable Magical House, a more advanced curriculum. Both programs use interactive and engaging teaching methods to explain the sewage treatment process and emphasize the importance of water resources.Director Hsiao further noted that in addition to launching the new program, the Neihu Sewage Treatment Plant is upgrading its audiovisual classroom used for environmental education. Enhancements include improved lighting, new seating and carpeting, and a redesigned podium to create a more comfortable learning environment. The renovation is scheduled for completion by the end of May 2025. During construction, visiting groups are encouraged to keep group sizes under 12. Courses will be held in a small meeting room or, alternatively, in front of the environmental education area on the first floor of the administrative building, with foldable chairs provided by the plant.The Sewerage Systems Office further added that that to provide a more diverse range of environmental education options, the Neihu Sewage Treatment Plant will officially join the “Taipei Water Journey” program this year (2025). Schools in Neihu, Songshan, Nangang, and Xinyi Districts are encouraged to participate and take advantage of the nearby location for convenient access. The program aspires to cultivate participants as “water resource ambassadors” who will share their knowledge and experiences with others—fostering a city-wide mindset of understanding, cherishing, and protecting water, and working together toward a more sustainable Taipei.Citizens of all ages are welcome to apply online to visit the Neihu Sewage Treatment Plant.Please submit your application through the Taipei City Government Public Venue Reservation System.For inquiries, feel free to call:02-8791-9494 ext. 158(Mr.Lin, Engineer)。
