Usine des eaux de Saint-Clair
Usine des eaux de Saint-Clair, Water treatment facility and historical monument in Caluire-et-Cuire, France
The Saint-Clair water treatment plant features a central neoclassical building with two symmetrical wings designed by architect Aristide-François-Marcellin Dumont.
Built in 1854, the facility operated three Cornouailles steam pumps until 1910, drawing and discharging water from the Rhône River for regional distribution.
The Second Empire style building represents the industrial advancement of the 19th century, combining functional engineering with architectural refinement.
Located at 362 Chemin de Wette Fays, the facility maintains one of the original Cornouailles pumps, measuring 13 meters in height with a 35-ton balance beam.
The last remaining Cornouailles pump in France stands within this facility, featuring a shuttle-shaped balance beam that moved two cubic meters per stroke.
