The Metropolitan Waterworks Museum: Boston's Story of Water Works Villains, Heroes, and Machinery
The story of Boston Water Works is a tale of water industry heroes who helped build the facilities and establish treatment processes to triumph over the waterborne diseases that plagued the city in the 1800s. Today, the machinery that was used from 1887 to 1974 is housed in the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, where visitors can view some of the most distinctive and well‐preserved steam pumping engines in the country.
