Pump House
This is the Flathead River and the Pump House that is part of the Flathead Irrigation Project. The pump house was built around 1940. It intakes water from the river....shoots it up the steep bank and deposits it into the Pablo Reservoir to irrigate hundreds of acres in the Flathead Vally. The Flathead Valley produces potatoes and wheat mostly, with corn and Canola as rotator crops. Along that pipe there are stairs so crews can get up and down the hill for maintenance.....355 stairs to be exact! It's also quite a workout if one wishes to do some stair stepping! :-)
Stay warm all!
Thanks for viewing!
