Notes
  • Significance: The Reservoir Avenue Pumping Station was built in 1931 to convey sewage from a low-lying and increasingly populated area of Providence up to a gravity line and thence to the main pumping station at Ernest Street. From there it was pumped to the city's Fields Point Plant for treatment. The Reservoir Avenue Pumping Station is thus historically and functionally associated with Providence's sewage treatment system. Its construction, like that of the earlier (1913) Washington Park pump station, illustrates the continued expansion of the system in response to the residential and industrial expansion of the city in the early decades of the 20th century.
