Features:  CAW is excited to have the Ozark Society join us at the historic Ozark Point Water Treatment Plant. This site has played a big role in central Arkansas’s water story, and it’s always great to share it with people who appreciate the region’s natural and cultural heritage.

We’ll kick things off with a relaxed walk around the grounds and historic buildings, then head inside for a look at the treatment plant and lab to see how water service has evolved over the years.

If the weather cooperates, we’ll finish up with a brownbag lunch at Knoop Park, which offers a great view of the Arkansas River and downtown.

Everyone is welcome to attend, whether an Ozark Society member or not.
