Here's the rebuilt fuel pump and new fuel filter assembly. This one actually has a glass bowl to see the dirt and water from the fuel.
The R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant is an architectural jewel — legacy of an age when infrastructure was celebrated. Its elegant styling reflects the importance given to clean water. We should remember that sentiment: clean water has saved more lives than all the hospitals of Toronto, even if we take it for granted nowadays.
“Dubbing it ‘The Palace of Purification,’ critics attacked the plant’s appearance as early as 1938. The use of rich materials like marble and bronze in the interior (plus extensive limestone carvings on the exterior) is both notable and characteristic of the times. While unusual for Toronto’s utilitarian structures, lavish treatment was typical in water treatment plants built across North America prior to World War II. The decorative program at the R.C. Harris surpassed that of most other facilities, not only in the Filter Building but, more surprisingly, throughout the Pumping Station. The intent was to create a water ‘showcase’ for the public, highlighting the mundane but essential function that makes cities possible.
"The R.C. Harris is the largest unified ensemble of Art Deco buildings in Toronto. Inside and out, the plant features stepped or set-back profiles and a wealth of flattened, geometric and highly-stylized ornament in stone,brick, and metal. The plant is an excellent example of how the Art Deco style (1925-40) could integrate Late Romanesque Revival and Modern Classical forms, which are represented by the round-arched in the Filter Building and the simplified pediments and pilasters on the Pumping Station."

Following a State of Emergency declaration by Governor Scott in early August, the South Florida Water Management District sent four pumps to support the Southwest Florida Water Management District's emergency response to flooding on Florida's west coast. The portable pumps were available to help direct flood waters away from impacted areas in Dixie, Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Taylor counties.

The High Pumping Station in the northwest section of The Bronx was built in the years 1901-06 by George W. Birdsall of The Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity. Constructed as part of the Jerome Reservoir complex, an adjunct to the Croton Aqueduct system, the station was built to pump water from the reservoir located to its west to consumers throughout the borough.
The area that gave rise to this reservoir gained its name from the Jerome Park Racetrack (named for one of its founders, Leonard W. Jerome, Winston Churchill's grandfather) which occupied the site between 1876 and 1890.
Dating back to the time of the American Revolution this land was the property of Colonel Frederick Philipse, a Tory whose estate was later confiscated by the Continental Congress.
The decision to build a new receiving reservoir at Jerome Park was reached by the Aqueduct Commissioners as early as 1884, however the plans for the new reservoir were not ready until 1894 with the contract for construction being signed only in August 1895.
At the turn of the century the demand for clean water by a growing urban population was supplemented by the need to have necessary pressure in order that the water be able to reach the upper floors of multi-storied structures. It is precisely this service performed by the High Pumping Station that made it such an important utility for The Bronx.
This is clearly recognized by the author of the Annual Report of The Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, 1903 who characterizes the High Pumping Station as being a valuable tool from which "...a much needed supply can be delivered to a territory where the pressure is at present totally Insufficient."
Contracts for the foundations, engines, boilers, tank, standpipe, and coal house for the station were given out in the summer and fall of 1901. Work was delayed, however, because a sewer needed to drain the site of the reservoir had not yet been completed by the Aqueduct Commission; only the laying of the
The pumping station is built in the Romanesque Revival idiom, a style that was widely used at the turn of the century for all different types of buildings.
The fact that it is employed here for strictly a utilitarian purpose reflects the adaptability of the style as well as the importance attached to this utilitarian building.
Situated along the west side of Jerome Avenue just south of Mosholu Parkway, the High Pumping Station is a long and narrow red brick building topped by a steeply pitched roof.
The facade is divided into a series of bays, each consisting of two arched windows (or doorway, if an entrance) flanked by shallow brick buttresses. This arrangement of the facade relieves, in part, the dominant horizontality of the station's layout and provides the facade with a sense of rhythm.

Restored water pump in the "white village" of Thorn - Limburg. This photo was used in the "Where Am I Now" competition on Photography on the Net. Hence the partially cloned out text on the pump body that reads: AD 1979 is deze pomp van 1740 Hernieuwd - De vrienden van Thorn" (AD 1979 this pump of 1740 was refurbished - The Friends of Thorn")

I did see this old stone pump house along the main road into Babcock State Park, just before I got to the construction flaggers. So at least there's this.
Babcock State Park looks large on the map, and the internet suggests it's pretty. If I ever come this way again, I'll have to give it another try.
