north river wastewater treatment plant

Don't even think about cooling off in the Hudson River, the East River south of the Triborough or the Harlem river this weekend—City officials have declared them unfit for recreational activity due to raw sewage.

A huge four-alarm blaze broke out today in the North River wastewater treatment plant on the Henry Hudson Parkway. But thanks to 39 units and 168 firefighters it was quickly brought under control.
