Description
The Portland Water District built this pump station between Walnut and Sheridan Streets in 1931. This pump station contained two booster pumps that could each pump up to 5,000,000 gallons of water per day from the Munjoy Hill Reservoir. The station was built to act in an emergency, such as a serious fire, in which a large amount of water would be needed in a short amount of time.
The exterior of the pump station was designed by architects John Calvin Stevens and his son John Howard Stevens.
