Notes
  • Significance: The S.U.M. Hydroelectric Plant was constructed in 1912-1914 to meet the electrical power needs of the mill and factory owners and tenants in the Paterson area. It superceded the power canal system (HAER No. NJ-2), and is situated on a narrow neck of land on a bend in the Passaic River. The plant operated under a normal head of sixty-seven feet and incorporated four S. Morgan Smith horizontal shaft turbines. These were connected to 2400-volt, sixty-cycle generators of either 1720 hp. or of 1390 hp.
