The Visitor Center at Newtown Creek tells the story of New York City's water and wastewater systems. It is located in the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Brooklyn. The Visitor Center features Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) employees who explain the City's water cycle, including supply, distribution, wastewater treatment, and harbor water quality.
This facility will help you learn about the 1 billion gallons of water New Yorkers use every day, the City's thousands of miles of pipes, aqueducts, and water mains, and DEP's responsibilities through the eyes of DEP's workforce.
