 Overview
 Description
An abandoned sewage treatment plant, made up of 5 buildings plus treatment ponds. Located along the Greenbelt Trail, it's fairly easy to gain access thanks to lack of maintenance. Since it's located along a trail, no one will be suspicious if you park your vehicle at the start of the trail for long periods of time. All exterior doors are bolted and / or welded shut. There are also accessible sewer tunnels running under the complex.

August 2016 update: the treatment ponds have been filled in, and the two buildings that were connected to them are also gone.
 Basic Information
