Station de pompage dite usine élévatoire de Clichy

The Clichy pumping station, established in 1890 by the City of Paris, is located at the intersection of Rue Fournier and Quai de Clichy. It was built on a site that serves as a termination point for the main sewer collectors of Paris, dating back to Haussmann's renovations during the Second Empire. Equipped with steam pumps and a decantation basin connected directly to the Seine River, this facility was designed to handle approximately 80% of the capital's wastewater. Its historical significance lies in its role in the management and treatment of Paris's sewage system.
