Learn about the exciting happenings in the Water Utilities department! From a new logo, new facility and more, we’re upping the ante in our department. 

For years, Mansfield Water Utilities has offered a variety of interactive, hands-on learning opportunities to our citizens. Now, in an effort to best educate and help you conserve water, we’re excited to announce a few updates!

Although tours will still occur at the Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant, our new facility at 620 S. Wisteria St. now offers dedicated rooms and technology for learning, including an outdoor classroom! 

Fun Classes for Kids
