The George W. Bush Sewage Plant is a proposed renaming of a San Francisco, California, sewage plant in faux honor of the forty-third president of the United States, George W. Bush. By summer 2008, it had received a sustained burst of coverage from local and prominent national and international print and broadcast outlets.

The initiative, spurred by a group of liberal activists, the Presidential Memorial Commission, has collected enough signatures to be placed as a ballot initiative in the city. If passed, The Oceanside Wastewater Treatment of San Francisco will be renamed The George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Organizer Brian McConnell stated the reasons for the ballot proposal and renaming.

Fifty years from now in a civics class, students will learn about the Lincoln Memorial, that other presidents are on Mount Rushmore—and George W Bush got a sewage plant. It will prompt people to ask why, and they can discuss the Iraq war, and everything that led to it. People want to forget bad moments of history, and this is our way of making sure that doesn't happen.
