Then and Now for July 25.
Then. 'May 19, 1915. Pumping Station.' On Eastern near Coxwell.
Sewage pumping stations in particular as public infrastructure investments provide a return that immeasurably more than justifies their original investment; doubly so as they are public health necessities and the investments must be made. This plant received some upgrades in 2010 and is still operational.
Municipal infrastructure is one of the most fascinating subjects, for me anyways! Especially from a historical perspective.
