Cleveland Division of Water - Water Treatment Plant Tours open for National Drinking Water Week - 2013.05.11

For years I have been wanting to see the inside of the Baldwin Water Treatment Plant, a stoic and beautifully detailed building that is rumored to house an amazing underground reservoir of vaulted ceilings and grand colonnades (which I believe is no longer open for public viewing but can be seen online).

This upcoming weekend Cleveland Division of Water will be having public tours of the Baldwin Water Treatment Plant and the Crown Water Treatment Plant to help celebrate National Drinking Water Week.
