The layout of the original water treatment plant. The intake building remains in Longview Park. The sand filters were located in cavernous cement vaults which now support student parking. The sedimentation basin (upper right of diagram) was acquired by the college in 1973 and became the site of five tennis courts. The long narrow building between the sand filters and settling basin came to Marist when the land was exchanged for land ceded to the city in 1974 at the south end of campus for a sewage treatment facility.
