A fun swim is not a concept we associate with the Newtown Creek superfund site, but if +Pool has taught us anything, it's that sometimes there's fun to be found in cleaning up polluted waterways for recreation. Architect Rahul Y. Shah has proposed the "Exorcise Pool"?yes, really?which would treat stormwater and send it into a swimming pool on a now-unused East Williamsburg lot next to Newtown Creek. The pool won't help the creek's existing pollution but could stop overflows in the future. [DNAinfo; previously]
