Warsaw Water Filters
Warsaw Water Filters, Industrial water treatment complex in Ochota district, Warsaw, Poland
Warsaw Water Filters is an industrial water treatment complex in Ochota district, Warsaw, Poland. The site contains slow sand filters, water towers, machine halls and administrative buildings that occupy a large area between Koszykowa and Filtrowa streets.
William Lindley designed this water treatment facility in 1883, introducing modern sanitation infrastructure to Warsaw during rapid urban growth. The plant began operations in 1886 and has supplied treated water to the city ever since.
The site represents a milestone in Polish engineering, combining industrial architecture with functional water purification systems that changed public health standards.
The facility continues to operate and supplies clean water to roughly one third of Warsaw's population through its preserved original machinery. Some of the buildings can be visited during special events or guided tours, as this is a working water treatment plant.
The bricks used in construction were specially manufactured to resist moisture, allowing many original structures to remain intact for over 130 years. Some of the machinery from the late 19th century still operates and filters water daily for city residents.
