Shreveport Waterworks Pumping Station, Steam-powered municipal water treatment plant in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Shreveport Waterworks Pumping Station is a water treatment facility in Louisiana that operated from 1887 to 1980, serving the city's water needs through mechanical systems. The building houses original steam engines, pumps, and filtration equipment from the 1890s that visitors can examine today.

Shreveport contracted for the waterworks in 1887 to replace cisterns and wells that had become inadequate. The plant saw major changes in the first decade of the 20th century and again after the city bought it from its private operator in 1917. The city kept the steam pumps running through the 1970s, and the station closed in 1980.

The site is now the Shreveport Water Works Museum, and the Shreveport Railroad Museum also stands on its grounds; both are open to the public. The plant kept its steam pumps running through the 1970s even as electric pumping made them obsolete, so the machinery survives where it was installed.

The complex sits west of downtown Shreveport, between North Common Avenue and Twelve Mile Bayou, which flows into the Red River just north of downtown. The Shreveport Railroad Museum stands on the same grounds, and both museums are open to the public. The brick buildings house the pumps and filters in place, so visitors walk among the machinery rather than viewing it behind glass.

The Shreveport Railroad Museum shares the grounds of the water works museum, so a single visit covers both. The pumping station was named a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1999, and it kept running on steam until 1980, decades after electric pumps had made the machinery obsolete.
