- Located at: Augusta Water Works, Goodrich St. extension, Augusta Canal, Augusta, Ga.
One-story complex of brick featuring Greek Revival style pediments on forward facing gables. A Romanesque arch decorates the center of the pediment at the entrance. When completed in 1899, the Augusta Water Supply was one of the best in the South and one of the cheapest in the United States. The complex is significant because it illustrates the application of three types of power to operate the pumps: water, steam, and electric. Raw water pumping stations pump water from the Augusta Canal.
