Herron Hill Pumping Station

The Herron Hill Pumping Station is located at 4501 Centre Avenue in the North Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.

Once the water reached these two reservoirs, it could then be distributed by supply mains to tanks in residential areas in the East End—a process that became known as the Herron Hill Service.

In 1918, work began to convert the pumping station's fuel source from gas to oil and to rebuild the brick foundations for the boilers.

Efforts to convert the Herron Hill pumps from steam to electricity was completed in 1931, and a rapid sand filtration system was put in place in the 1950s.

The abundance of windows within the pumping station's design enabled large quantities of natural light and ventilation into the building and also allowed the public to view the infrastructure at work inside.
