As part of our continuing Open House New York coverage, we visited the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant this morning. It is enormous: dozens of buildings on 53 acres at the northern edge of Greenpoint. You've probably seen the huge silver digester eggs from the BQE— at night they're lit up with pretty blue light. An overview of what goes on there: "with a rated capacity of 1.2 million m³/d, this is New York City's largest wastewater pump station and serves an area of 4,162 acres of land, fed by 180 miles of sewers. " Polshek Partnership is responsible for the plant's design— check out their site for some cool progress pictures.
Remember: please tag your OHNY pix with "gothamist" on Flickr, or email them to photos@gothamist.com. We'll put together a gallery of the best images for tomorrow.

doesn't matter how state of art it is.... still smells like poop for blocks around with place.
So that's what those things are.
I will sleep easier tonight knowing that the facilities are in place to handle my mammoth sized turds. Thankfully they smell like cinnamon and daisies, so nearby residents may bask in the fresh smell of my excrement and behold its healing qualities.
This is a win win for everybody.
