Description
Shown, looking south, in circa 1927, is piping within the sedimentation basin of Sacramento's water filtration plant. The basin was cleaned annually, and always done in the winter, when water consumption was at its lowest. It often took months to complete. To the far right of the frame are portions of the Southern Pacific Railroad yards.
