jjohann Posted August 14, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) This year celebrates the centenary of the Col. Francis G. Ward Pumping Station, brought online in 1915 to provide water to the city of Buffalo. Water flows under gravity from the Roundhouse Intake, 6,600 feet offshore in Lake Erie, along a 12x12 foot tunnel to the Pumping Station. The Station houses five colossal vertical steam-driven pumps: each pump weighs 1,100 tons, stands 60 feet tall, has two 20-foot diameter 30-ton flywheels, employs a triple-expansion design producing 1,200 horsepower, and is capable of discharging 30 million gallons of water per day through 48-inch diameter pipes.
