Boulware Springs Water Works
Boulware Springs Water Works, Historic waterworks in Gainesville, United States.
The Boulware Springs Water Works features original pumping stations and storage tanks from the late nineteenth century along Southeast 15th Street.
The springs served as Gainesville's primary water source until 1913 and influenced the University of Florida's relocation from Lake City through free water incentives.
The site maintains historical markers and educational programs that demonstrate the evolution of water management practices in Florida through guided tours.
The water works connects to the Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail and provides multiple entrances for visitors to access the natural spring area.
The University of Florida continues to receive water without charges, maintaining an agreement that dates back to the 1901 campus relocation decision.
