NEORSD 2015
Education, science and fun, all combined into one! That's exactly how we would describe Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's Open House, which took place last Sat 9/19 at their EMSC facility. The day was filled with community partner vendors, live science demos, food trucks, tours of both their plant and lab, and so much more!
CoolCleveland met up with NEORSD's Jennifer Elting to get the scoop. The event was a huge success, and the smile on Elting's face told it all. The kids and families were having fun, and you couldn't have asked for a better experience.
