Ottawa Fleet Street Pumping Station

The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) National Capital Section proudly sponsored by the CSCE Carleton University Chapter, invites you to a special seminar showcasing the Ottawa Fleet Street Pumping Station, a 150-year-old facility in Ottawa that has provided its citizens with tap water and fire protection, using the novel approach of water turbine driven pumps.

Predating electrification in Ottawa, the Fleet Street Pumping Station opened its doors in 1874. In this presentation, Paul Montgomery a licensed professional engineer with a background in mechanical and municipal engineering will share historic information, unique photos, and technical operations information about this seldom seen heritage facility.
