Building Partnerships with Schools and Organizations in our Community

The Columbus Water Works (CWW) and Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center have been participating in a program for the past two years sponsored by the Georgia Aquarium called Creeks to Coast. The program takes both Middle School and High School Teachers from the head waters of the Chattahoochee to the Apalachicola Bay learning about water resources, uses and wildlife along the way. Partners include Georgia Power, US Fish & Wildlife, Georgia Pacific, CWW and Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center. CWW provides a tour of the South Columbus Water Resources Facility as part of the program providing teachers with a tour of our state-of-the-art facility and the innovative programs we have at the plant. Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center, in partnership with CWW, provides insight to local flora and fauna of the region. The teachers also get an afternoon to explore the Whitewater project in downtown Columbus.
