Serious about Sewage – ALCOSAN Open House

This may be one of the most unique events I have stubled across in the past 3 years. ALCOSAN is hosting a day long open house on September 20, 2008.

ALCOSAN is the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority

They have tons of exhibts planned for the open house, here are a few of the ones I found most interesting…

  • an hour long tour of the sewage treatmant plant
  • a look at what micro organisms exist in sewage
  • Photos with the ALCOSAN mascot – Frankie the Fish
  • Virtual Sewer

Saturday, September 20, 2008
9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Sprout Fund Open House – Friday

I mentioned this yesterday in my post about Art Cubed – but I wanted to share this poster about the event. This is a great place to check out some of the projects that the Sprout Fund has supported and meet some great people. If you have a project that you think makes Pittsburgh a great place to live, you can apply for a Sprout Fund Seed Award Grant click here to learn more about the grant.sproutopenhouse.gif
