Fall River Waterworks, Water tower and historic site in Fall River, Massachusetts

The Fall River Waterworks extends across 22 acres along North Watuppa Pond, featuring a 121-foot water tower and multiple operational buildings.

Built between 1872 and 1875, the waterworks system received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 for its architectural significance.

The waterworks buildings display Ruskinian Gothic architecture constructed with local Fall River granite, representing the industrial development of Massachusetts.

The facility maintains water distribution to Fall River and neighboring communities, delivering an average of 11 million gallons daily through extensive pipeline networks.

The original engine house contained four designated spaces for pumping engines, with separate high-service and low-service systems to manage water distribution effectively.
