State and federal agencies rehabilitate the pumping station and gate house, and the work wins a Design Commission award
In the 1980s, state and federal agencies took part in improvements at the pumping station. The project rehabilitated the historic buildings, built a service building on Butler Street (since replaced) and a wall along the street (since rebuilt). It received an Excellence in Design award from the city's Design Commission in 1986, and a plaque on the station's east facade, dated 1988, commemorates the state and federal participation.
