Water Purification

Shreveport has had two water purification plants and pumping stations:

The Thos. L. Amiss plant which was built in 1929 and is still in use today, and the McNeill Street Station, which went into service in 1897 and operated continously as a steam pump facility until 1980. It is now a National Historic Engineering Landmark, one of only four in the whole country.

Until 1926, the city's sources of water were Twelve Mile Bayou and Red River. It now receives raw water from Cross Lake.
