Imagine the future of the William Street Pumping Station

The City of Waterloo is exploring the future of the historic William Street Pumping Station and the surrounding public space.

Built in 1899, the Pumping Station played an important role in Waterloo's history, providing drinking water to the community for more than 125 years. With water operations moving to a new facility in 2025, the heritage building is no longer needed for its original purpose.

This creates an opportunity to preserve this important landmark while exploring how it can continue serving the community in a new way.
