This water treatment plant was built in 1926, and definitely evinces an aesthetic awareness rarely found in more recently-built public structures. It's won recognition from the city for "urban environmental design," is nationally recognized as a "water landmark site" by the American Water Works Association, treats 20 million gallons of water a day... and is only a few blocks away from my house. http://ci.ftlaud.fl.us/public_services/peeledixie/landmark.htm]]> Buzznet bone 2004-03-10T16:27:29Z http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/peele-dixie_water_treatment_plant--thumb-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/peele-dixie_water_treatment_plant--synd-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/peele-dixie_water_treatment_plant--mob-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/peele-dixie_water_treatment_plant--gallery-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/peele-dixie_water_treatment_plant--large-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/peele-dixie_water_treatment_plant--feat-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/msg-49304-2.jpg 0 1280 http://bone.buzznet.com/user/photos/whats-blue-thing-doing-here/?id=111947
