Highland Creek Sewage Plant Toronto

Hi folks,

If you are in the east end of Toronto, check out the Highland Creek Sewage Plant at the end of Beechgrove Avenue. It is still operating but there is lots of abandoned equipment. Drop into the office and ask the operator in the control room if you can look around. There is a beautiful pond with lots of birds and a couple of families of beavers. Lots of tanks and equipment to look at outdoors, some of it dates back to the early 1950's. If you ask nicely and they are in are not too busy, they may take you down and show you the extensive tunnel system.

Don't even think about going underground or exploring the buildings by yourself. There are lots of hazards and you will be charged with trespass.

I have heard that photography is not allowed in either waste water or fresh water facilities by photographers who work for the media, so by deduction I can only assume that this means no for the rest of us too. A member here through a post in his blog revealed he had no luck himself when he contacted someone to gain access to a photogenic pumping station in the east end.

Let's be honest, do you work there?
