vattenbruket

Vattenbruket, also known as the Waterworks, is a historical water supply system located in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. It was constructed in the late 19th century to provide a reliable source of drinking water to the growing population of the city. The system consists of several reservoirs, pumping stations, and pipelines that transport water from the Vättlefjorden lake to the city's water treatment plant and then to the homes and businesses of Gothenburg.

The Waterworks was designed by the Swedish engineer Carl Fredrik Sundberg and was completed in 1898. It was one of the first large-scale water supply systems in Sweden and was a significant engineering achievement at the time. The system was built to ensure a constant supply of clean drinking water to the city, which was crucial for public health and hygiene.

Over the years, the Waterworks has undergone several renovations and upgrades to ensure its continued operation and efficiency. Today, it remains an important part of Gothenburg's infrastructure, providing water to over 500,000 people. The Waterworks is also a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of Gothenburg's water supply and to see the impressive engineering structures that make it possible.
