Description
A Quonset hut-style metal building sits behind a wire fence, with a sign identifying it as the "New York State Department of Health Temporary Water Treatment Facility." Utility poles and electrical equipment are mounted near the entrance. To the right, a boarded-up house and a parked car are partially visible. The surrounding yard has overgrown grass and patchy dirt areas, and the sky is clear with bright sunlight.
