Too much history is as good as posting an address for this place. This plant was a major engineering and architectural feat when it was completed in 1940. It could pump out 10 million gallons of water per day, and was intended to be expanded in order to produce double that amount. The plant closed in the 1990's and was bought by a historical preservation group to maintain the property.
This place was built to be ornate and there was very little vandalism, making the painful entry very worth it.

Nice work, TC. Great shots, and kudos on getting into this place.

Excellent work getting in there OP. Painful huh? Bravo. I can only imagine what you did.

Your gallery is fabulous.

I love how almost all the equipment still seems to be intact

Nice dude!!

Props for getting in here and great shots too!

So what are all the balls??

Answering that question would provide enough info for anyone to be able to Google this location, and since TC seems to not want that ("Too much history is as good as posting an address for this place") perhaps that's best left unsaid here on a public thread.

Great Set! The architecture is just stunning.

I was actually able to find the location with the information already stated. So if he really doesn't want anyone to know he may want to re-write it.

Great set.

Thanks guys. Yes, getting in was rough, I bashed my knee pretty good and another one of us got cut on the barb wire, but it wasn't too bad. I also didn't do anything too crazy to get in, the POE is just difficult to find.

The balls are commonly used in water plants today for waste water treatment. They act as a filter, allowing micro organisms to break off and grow on them. It's called a trickling filter, I think.

Oh, whoops! I completely thought the balls were something else. My mistake!

I've had my eyes on this place for years and had all but written it off as it's a tough one. Great job and the pics are fantastic, thanks for sharing!

Cool location. I've been into water treatment since we had to learn the water cycle as like a 2nd grader some 40 years ago. Do they still use alum in water treatment? I like that word, it sounds like the future.

TC, wonderful job! I second all the Kudo's you are getting on this thread!

Great shots. been wanting to go to this place for a while now.

Awesome job getting in! I would love to get in this place!

Oh meow! What a find!

It just took me about 5 minutes to find it and add it to my new UER North Carolina map.

amazing shots, love the subtle puddle reflections in several of these shots!
