Description
The Albion Spring Waterworks in Newlands was constructed in 1890 and is the city’s oldest waterworks. It is still in operation today. However, water treatment was only introduced more recently. Treatment is limited to correcting the spring water’s high acidity and disinfecting with chlorine. Thereafter, the water is pumped directly into the water network.
