Constructed in 1874, Ottawa's original water supply system was located in the Fleet Street pumping station. This station used the hydraulic energy of the Ottawa River's Chaudiere Falls to pump untreated river water into a distribution system. Remarkably, the station remains in operation today providing re-pumping of purified water as well as generating electricity. [City of Ottawa web site]
