This one is from the Bronx River Alliance:
Ever wonder what happens to water after it leaves your house? Here is your opportunity to find out. There will be a tour of the Yonkers Sewage Treatment Plant on Saturday, April 10th . Come along as we "follow the flow" of sewage as it gets treated in the plant and find out what finally happens to it. Preference is given to educators and ecology workers.
