What is the Red Hook Wastewater Treatment Plant?

Built in 1987, the Red Hook Wastewater Treatment Plant is just one of New York City’s fourteen pollution control centers that treats a combined 1.7 billion gallons of waste per day collected through the approximated 6,000 miles of underground sewage tunnels. Individually served by 140 miles of sanitation and storm sewers, the Red Hook plant treats an average of 45 million gallons of waste daily.
