Description: Shown in circa 1955 is the circular interior of the pumping station within Sacramento City's water filtration plant. Placed into operation in 1924, the pump room, measuring some 75 feet in diameter, is where water was siphoned from the Sacramento River by six motor-driven low-lift pumps and then purified before ending up in one of two water storage reservoirs of 5 and 915 million gallon capacities.
