Description
Pictured in circa 1925 is the intake pump for Sacramento's water filtration facility. Sitting 145 feet from the shore and just below the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, had five inlet gates at four different levels. Two 42-inch siphon lines were responsible to guiding the water from the pump to the onshore pumping station. Two people stand on a dock at the base of the intake tower, with their rowboat tied nearby.
