NEW YORKERS TO RECLAIM THEIR RIVER WATER

Lucky New Yorkers may soon be swimming in a floating, plus-shaped pool of freshly filtered East River water. After over ten years of planning, +POOL is at last set to become a reality. The unique plan was first conceived in 2010, from a small team of engineers who launched +POOL with the dream of safely swimming in the East River. At its core, the project will serve as an aquatic filtering facility, each day cleaning one million gallons of the infamous — albeit greatly improved — river water.
