Pershing Drive in the Florence neighborhood of Omaha, Nebraska. Home of the Minne Lusa Pumping Station, the Water Works has provided water throughout the city of Omaha since 1880.〔(Chapter 19 ), History of Omaha. Retrieved 8/27/10.〕 ==History== The Florence Water Works was constructed in 1879 and finished in 1880 by the City Water Works Company, a private venture owned locally. That company defaulted on its loans,〔(June 24, 1895). ("Foreclosure on Omaha Water Works; The Trustees for the Bondholders Secure a Decision in Their Favor," ) ''New York Times.'' Retrieved 8/27/10.〕 and in 1887, it was purchased by the American Water Works Company. American operated private water companies in many cities, including South Omaha and Denver. American started construction on the Minne Lusa Pumping Station that year, and it was opened by Mayor James Dahlman on August 1, 1889. A private owner took control of the local operations in late 1895,〔Poors, H.S. (1925) ''A short history of the American railroads.'' p 1087.〕 reopening the business as the Omaha Water Works. American provided ice produced from Missouri River water and distributed throughout the region. The Metropolitan Utilities District (MUD) was founded in 1913, and was intended to consolidate the city's utility services under public control. However, MUD faced severe opposition from American, which refused to sell their interest. The city persisted their case, eventually taking the case to the United States federal courts.〔Moreaty, E.F. (1917) ''Omaha memories: recollections of events, men and affairs in Omaha, Nebraska.'' p. 97.〕 After a federal ruling in their favor in 1916, MUD acquired the works. It continued to produce ice for several years.〔(Minne Lusa Water Works - Water Treatment Plant ), Florence Historical Society. Retrieved 8/27/10.〕 In 1917, the City of Florence reported to the Nebraska State Legislature that it was unable to pay its bonds due to the loss of tax receipts from the privately owned American Water Works. This effectively bankrupted the town,〔(1916) "Municipal ownership bankrupts a town," ''Public Service Magazine'', Volume 20. p. 26.〕 and it was annexed by the City of Omaha the following year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Florence Water Works」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
