Virtual Tours
Travel back in time to early Chicago to see how we reversed the Chicago River and developed wastewater treatment technology. Go behind the scenes and underwater to see how we transform water, descend 300 feet into the deep tunnel system, and watch our electrofishing crew at work sampling fish on the Chicago River.
Our virtual tours are free and open to the public. Registration is required.

What They're Saying
Oct. 14, 2026
"...I wanted to thank you for your presentation today on the MWRD Virtual Tour. I was genuinely impressed by your creativity and the quality of the photography and video throughout the presentation. You did an outstanding job bringing everything to life.
As a recently retired biology professor of 32 years, I have given and viewed countless professional presentations over the years, and I can honestly say this was easily one of the best virtual presentations I have seen. The creativity, visual storytelling, and attention to detail really stood out to me. I loved the addition of the two opossums!
I can only imagine the time and effort that went into putting it all together, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciated the opportunity to experience it. You should be very proud of what you have created.
Thanks again for sharing your work with us. It was truly impressive."
