This map contains the entirety of the Pitheath Water Treatment Plant. The player must advance through the treatment facility to get to the water flow control center, and report their findings to the boss. The facility elaborates on the keycard puzzle system, and is only recently abandoned.
This entirety of the Pitheath Water Treatment Plant, a series of several buildings responsible for treating and testing Stalburg's water for contaminants. An office building that monitors the flow of water in the dams, tunnels, and other water treatment plants in Stalburg is also on the premises. This map elaborates on several puzzles to be solved in a large area, and is the second water treatment plant Mark can choose to repair.
 
=Story=
=Story=
At some point before the events of Infra, a [[SMV#Mushroom_Types|green mushroom]] infestation occurred in the back room of the laboratory at the Pitheath Water Treatment Plant. Workers took advantage of this infestation, and harvested it for their own recreational use. The water began to show signs of pollution immediately before the events of Infra, results that can be recreated by Mark using a water sample at the laboratory. The pollution only got worse, and during the events of Infra, fish began to die off in the canal waters. Shortly before [[Markku Siltanen|Mark]] arrives at the treatment plant, water flow monitors began to show that water flow through key tunnels had stopped. Mark arrives at the facility after-hours, repairs the secondary clarifiers to pass through to the monitoring facility, and reports his findings at the water flow monitoring room. He escapes the locked building, and continues on to get back to the office.
Prior to the events of INFRA, one of the water treatment plant's new grit clarifiers broke, this resulted in water contamination rising well below acceptable levels. The opening of an Osmo Olut brewery next to the treatment plant caused a number employees to ignore their work to get drunk. The contaminated water was evidently distributed and fish began to die off in the nearby canal waters from the polluted water and a visible chemical spill.
 
Mark enters the facility to learn of the ramifications from the Bergmann tunnel collapse, but finds his path to the office building is obstructed by keycard-locked doors and several gates. Mark once again has the choice of proceeding through the plant with minimal difficulty, or attempt to repair the plant's water purification system. After entering the plant's office building, Mark finds the entire facility is empty, and the water flow monitor reports that the water flow has stopped in all tunnels. He calls Paul Lauwens to report the situation, and discovers that the Two Gorges Dam is also in bad shape, Paul becomes worried about the rising water pressure, he tells Mark to head back to the NCG offices to determine their next course of action, and gives him directions to a nearby metro station through an underpass.

===Pitheath Water Treatment Plant===
The Pitheath Water Treatment Plant is part of [[Stalburg Water]], responsible for converting the water pumped out of the tunnels into clean water for use by the citizens. It has been relatively well maintained, but recently showed signs of failure in its machinery and buildings. For example, the security system often triggers itself without any intrusion, the chlorine building has sprung a deadly leak, and the software running the grit classifiers is corrupted. Unusually, the security building's employee of the year sign had not been updated for three decades, and there is a newspaper from when the [[furnace|Stalburg Steel Factory]] shut down on a desk.  
The Pitheath Water Treatment Plant is part of [[Stalburg Water]], and responsible for purifying the water pumped out of the tunnels into clean water. It has been relatively well maintained, but has developed severe problems over years from neglect of its machinery and buildings. For example, one of the plant's secondary clarifiers hasn't been maintained in ages, the chlorine building has sprung a deadly leak, and the software running the grit classifiers is corrupted. Furthermore, one of the buildings has several concrete faults and clearly hasn't seen use in years judging from the Employee of the Year award which has not been updated for three decades, and a newspaper from when the [[furnace|Stalburg Steel Factory]] shut down on a desk.

===Laboratory===
A small laboratory used to test quality in water samples. The staff employed here were notorious for getting drunk, and possibly high on the job. There's a outbreak of green mushrooms in the storage room, and a laced kebab roll Mark can eat to have a brief psychedelic trip. Mark can also produce additional corruption evidence by taking a contaminated water sample here to an analysis machine and documenting the results.

* A sign of "SUMMER CAR CENTER" can be seen in the background, which is a reference to the old Loiste Interactive office that was located in the same office space as the former [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunny_Car_Center Sunny car center]. The sign is also a tribute to another finnish game, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Summer_Car My Summer Car.]
*If Mark fixed all the problems in the [[tunnel2|Pine Fell Water Plant]], an email in the Stalburg Water office building from Roman Banis will change to acknowledge the repairs.
