Chronological List of Publicly-Owned Water Works
Waterworks technology, ownership, and financing changed considerably over time and the chronology of their construction is a very valuable historical resource.
This table shows a list of waterworks and the year they were first operated. The entry under Public Year indicates when the system became permanently owned by a public entity. If Private is shown the system is currently owned by a non-public entity. Entries in the rest of the columns show the year in which the indicated technology was first used.
