Dear Friends, If you have not seen this yet, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has the Water Works on their website since designating it one of the "11 Most Endangered National Historic Sites." Here is the link: www.nationaltrust.org/11most When you go to the site and click on 2002 11 MOST ENDANGERED the Water Works is the 7th picture down....click on the picture to see more photos and descriptions. Thank you to the National Trust for Historic Preservation for bringing national attention to the endangered status of this important New Jersey and National historic site. Thank you also to the State and National Coalition to Save the Water Works (consisting of: Advocates for New Jersey History, American Institute of Architects, NJ Chapter, National Trust for Historic Preservation, New Jersey Historical Society, Preservation New Jersey, Save America's Treasures, Society for Industrial Archeology, and US/ICOMOS) for strong, committed and continuing effort to ensure the preservation of this American Treasure. The historic Hackensack Water Company site is the oldest intact rapid sand filtration and pumping station in the nation and places New Jersey in the forefront of the development of technology for providing pure water to the citizens of this country. WWC's proposal includes 10-acre restored environmental park, a history and technology museum, Environmental Education Center, Hackensack River Research Center and a cultural wing with programming for all ages. WWC, the State and National Coalition to Save the Water Works and the citizens of New Jersey and the nation await the decision of DEP Commissioner Bradley Campbell on the Bergen County request to demolish the historic Hackensack Water Co. and create a "Roman style Ruin," a new concrete amphitheater, a landfill knoll and an office building in the remains of the historic site. The site is listed on the New Jersey and the National Registers of Historic Places, is an "Official Project" of Save America's Treasures, and is being actively investigated by the National Landmark Survey for possible designation as a National Landmark. All the best, Maggie Harrer President of the Board of Directors The Water Works Conservancy, Inc.
