All the romance offered by a sewage treatment plant
can be yours!
"Brooklyn, New York’s Newtown Creek sewage plant will be the center of romance this Valentine’s Day. Plant superintendent Jim Pynn will take loving couples and others on morning or afternoon tours of the facility this coming Tuesday, Feb. 14.
“New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection is bringing two things together,” Pynn told Govpro.com. “We are going to give tour attendees a lot of information on our infrastructure, and we will give them an opportunity to express their love for each other—pretty neat, huh?”
Yeah. Neato.
"One impressive part of the plant is its eight futuristic, stainless
steel-clad digester eggs. Processing as much as 1.5 million gallons of
sludge every day, and working like a digestion system, the eggs break down the aromatic
waste into non-toxic sludge and gas.
“Just imagine going home and saying,
‘Where did he take me on Valentine’s Day? I went to see the digester eggs in
Greenpoint, Brooklyn.’”
Yes, just imagine.
