The Big Lift: A photo tour of the State Water Project’s Edmonston Pumping Plant

Edmonston

The State Water Project’s Edmonston Pumping Plant is the highest single lift pumping plant in the world, capable of flinging 2 million gallons per minute over the Tehachapis. In April of 2011, I had the pleasure of touring the facility on a Metropolitan Water District Inspection Tour.

Love it or hate it, it’s quite the facility to see, so sit back and take a photo tour of the Edmonston Pumping Plant by clicking here.
