One of the most satisfying parts of my job is getting first hand access to seeing so much interesting infrastructure.

I specialize in water, so getting access to the treatment plans is my favorite. Drinking water plants are mostly off limits for the public but I've gotten tours of a few.

If you're around the NYC area try visiting the Brooklyn Wastewater Treatment Plant. Those egg shaped digesters are really well designed. I even heard of a couple getting married there.



I can see them from my window! They are great. There is also an interesting public artwork their made by the artist/architect Vito Acconci.


There doesn't seem to be a Brooklyn Wastewater Treatment Plant on GMaps. I assume you mean the Newton Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant? It appears to have the eggs you refer to:

The treatment plant on Deer Island in Boston is a pretty cool tour too.
