Flush with success: Watertown to go down the toilet

Wormtown's loss is H2Otown's drain: The American Sanitary Plumbing Museum, a.k.a. the toilet museum, is moving from Worcester to Watertown, the Worcester Telegram reports.

The largest plumbing contractor in New England, J.C. Cannistraro LLC, is footing the bill to renovate a 150-year-old former ice house on the banks of the Charles River to house the museum. ... John C. Cannistraro Jr., president of J.C. Cannistraro LLC, said the museum will be expanded in the new location to exhibit cutting-edge plumbing technology. The goal is to show the arc of sanitary plumbing through history from the first bulky, water-hogging flush toilets to toda's sleek models that conserve water.

No word if Cannistraro will build a pier on the river for the Ty-D-Bowl man to dock at - or why the museum isn't being moved to Flushing, NY.

I've been wanting to visit this museum in Worcester FOREVER. Now I don't have to go far to see it!
