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.
