Headworks


Isn't this a pretty building? It is one of the only buildings on Nut Island in Quincy. This is the Nut Island Headworks. At the headworks, sewage passes through screens and grit chambers that remove large objects, sand and gravel. After screening, the sewage is conveyed through the five mile Inter-Island Tunnel to Deer Island, where it undergoes primary and secondary treatment. This facility serves 21 southern sewer system communities.
Kind of looks too pretty to be a building that deals with sewage... (FYI, there is NO sewage smell around here.)
