While our new treatment plant is not open for tours, if you are interested in seeing how a treatment plant works, the extremely popular PBS series, This Old House visited a wastewater treatment plant in Newburyport and took viewer on an insightful tour during Season 44, episode 11.  You can view it through this link to the This Old House Webpage here.  The tour lead by Rich Trethewey starts at about minute 18 and lasts about 5 minutes.
