What you may be biking or jogging past is the new and improved 'Mark IV' pump station. Yes, this is the fourth pump station here and was improved in 2012 to resist earthquakes, fires, bad hair and other disasters. Did you know, the first 2 pump stations here date back to the 19th Century?
The new pumps have an attractive robin's egg blue paint job. Remember 1906, er, not personally but conceptually? This place pumps an average 50 million gallons per day to a couple of reservoirs where it may come in handy when the big one hits. Like the lake? This station diverts rainwater away from the sewer system to top up the lake for your viewing pleasure.
