Exclusive: Inside a Drinking Water Sampling Station

The other day, EV Grieve reader Steven noticed that the Drinking Water Sampling Station on First Avenue between Second Street and Third Street...


...was open! For some reason, I've never seen inside of one... So now we know, despite the rumors — and swarms of bargoers! — they are not actually dispensing draft beer...



And this post at NYC.gov tells you what the stations are actually used for.

COOL, thanks! I am sure I've walked by these tanks 100,000 times and never noticed them! Must have been too busy enjoying the sights and sounds of my beloved LES all that time. Oopsie. :)

Wow this one photo makes all the time I spend on the internets worth while. I have always wondered what was inside those things. And your snap reporting has answered the question once and for all.

these drinking water sampling stations are going to attract the fratboy element to the neighborhood.
