Fig 3.16A: Weston Water Treatment Plant (Exterior)
This plant was built in 2051 as part of a decade-long plan to modernize the city’s aging sanitation systems. In the decades after the bombs fell, the rising sea levels eventually overwhelmed the plant’s retaining wall and began to flood the facility. As the pumps lost power, shorted out, and began to fail, the water output fell and grew more contaminated.
The exterior features a number of Super Mutant shacks dotted throughout the containment pools and some devious traps to wound the unwary. The roof of the structure, which has a terminal (Novice) and a safe (Expert) to hack, can only be accessed from a hatch inside.

The lower levels of the plant are flooded, prompting you to take the elevator down to a series of button-operated doors. Open these to advance to pump control switches, and activate each one. Advance onward and downward after each one, fending off Mirelurks. Then locate the lowest-level elevator that takes you back up to the surface.
