Ever Wonder Where Your Toilet Water Goes? There’s A Map For That!

Have you ever been in your bathroom and wondered to yourself, “hmm, when I flush this toilet, where does everything go?” Well if the answer is YES, then there’s now a map for that. NYC-based Habitat Map has put together a variety of maps including the “Where does my toilet flush to” Google Maps mashup. Looks like I am serviced by the Bower Bay sewageshed.

Habitat Maps notes regarding the Toilet Flush map, “Every day, nine million New Yorkers discharge 1.5 billion gallons of liquid waste into their sewer system. Underground and out of sight their urine, feces, and food scraps combine with litter and pollution from the street. This nasty brew then navigates 6,000 miles of pipe…”

Habitat Map has created other interesting maps including Barge NYC Garbage and Solar Powered NYC.
