High Level Pumping Station

It is also home to the central control for the city of Toronto's water distribution system.

It is located in a residential neighbourhood near the intersection of Avenue Road and Dupont Street.

It was built on the site of the Yorkville Waterworks, which had been established in 1875 to provide the then separate town of Yorkville, Ontario with drinking water.

It is one of 22 pumping stations in Toronto that move water from Lake Ontario to the higher elevation, northern parts of the city.

Municipal employees from the site monitor the city's water supply twenty-four hours per day.
