Bay News Letter Reveals Sewage Wedding Venue!

The April 17 to 23, 2014 Bay News had a very fun letter from Dan Glesmann in Morro Bay! Scroll to page 13 off this link:

It is entitled, "Say 'I Do' Amongst the Poo." The letter was about Morro Bay's proposed sewer plant and how to pay for it. Mr. Glesmann writes about a goal setting workshop where an education center was brought up. He found an article in the Associated Press "Woodinville Wash.—A sewage treatment plant near Seattle is advertising its availability as a wedding venue." People pay money to hold a wedding there!

So because I have already reported on the Tillman Reclamation plant in the San Fernando Valley as being used as just such a venue, I found a couple of interesting links to this newly discovered place that does the same thing:

I couldn't find the Facebook page it has but check out this video!

Really, too late for us to add this to our plant (this plant is HUGE anyway), but some fun sewer reading nonetheless. (The plant is MBR and doesn't smell, remind you of anything?) Could this be in Morro Bay's future?
