			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We invite you to come check out the Aquiary (ā•kwee•air•ee) at our new office. That&#8217;s not a typo – we&#8217;ve actually made up a word to describe something no current words adequately describe.</p>
<p>The Aquiary is a destination for Loudoun kids and their parents to learn about water in Loudoun, and hopefully walk away with a greater appreciation for what it takes to get it to them, and treat it for them. It&#8217;s also a place where we can share our passion for water with the community, such that they become a little more compassionate about their use of it.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re proud to announce that the Aquiary has been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation as an official Certified Wildlife Habitat™ site.</p>
<p>Our Aquiary, a place for water learning and appreciation, is now open. Stop by during regular business hours Monday-Friday from 8:00-5:00 for a self-guided tour of our exhibits. We can also schedule group tours best for kids 8 and up. Call 571.291.7700 for more information.Would you like a Loudoun Water representative to talk with your group about water supply as a resource, water quality, wastewater or drinking water treatment or water stewardship? You pick the subject matter and the time allotment and we&#8217;ll provide an action-learning presentation that&#8217;s appropriate for your grade level. Contact the Manager of Communications at 571.291.7700.We are not offering tours of our Broad Run Water Reclamation Facility due to security reasons. However, please plan to visit The Aquiary inside our Administration building.Tours of Loudoun Water supplier treatment plants can be arranged by contacting our suppliers directly. Many of the local utilities are undergoing upgrades and have suspended tours until further notice. Call 703.550.9740 for tours of Fairfax County’s wastewater plant in Lorton. The City of Fairfax no longer offers tours of the Goose Creek Plant in Ashburn. Tours of the Town of Leesburg&#8217;s treatment facilities have been suspended until expansion construction is complete. Fairfax Water&#8217;s Corbalis plant in Herndon have been suspended until expansion construction is complete.If you&#8217;re interested in an outdoor activity that you can do on your own, visit Sully Elementary&#8217;s Discovery Park in Sterling. Discovery Park is a community built playground that incorporates learning with fun. Loudoun Water donated a water wall to the playground that depicts the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The playground is open to the public after school and on weekends. You may be able to arrange a field trip to Discovery Park. Contact Sully Elementary School for details.</p>
