Empowering communities to be smarter with water.
Our Story
The Clean Water Works Education Foundation (CWWEF) is a passionate non-profit organization committed to educating and engaging the public on the crucial topics of water reuse and sustainability. Born out of the vision of the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD), CWWEF was created to amplify community outreach and foster a deeper connection between residents, water users, and the vital task of turning waste into resources. Operating throughout LACSD's service area across Los Angeles County, we provide educational programs, STEM opportunities, and hands on learning designed to inform and inspire residents, students and local communities about the importance of water conservation and waste management both now and in the future.
Our mission is to educate the future generations of water users and ignite a passion in future engineers, planners, and scientists to think about a life-long career that supports an environmentally sustainable future.
Mission Statement

The Foundation’s focus is on programs that include educational tours of treatment plants and materials recovery facilities, sewer science and learning, K-8 curriculum programs, environmental education on sustainability, green energy and hands-on learning activities involving watershed and water management. Our programs, outreach and education are intended to inform, inspire, educate, and motivate current and future generations to care for one of the planet’s most precious resources – water. We want to stimulate and encourage the world’s future engineers, scientists, operators and planners to consider knowledge and career choices that nurture a sustainable and environmentally responsible future for everyone.”
