The Montevideo Waterworks Company, Ltd. was a British company, operating in Montevideo, Uruguay. Organized in 1879, its offices were at 61 Moorgate, London, England. The company was founded to take over a concession granted by the government of Uruguay for the construction of the necessary works for supplying the city with water derived from the Santa Lucía River. The point on that river at which the water was taken was 55 kilometres (34 mi) from the city, and after being treated with aluminoferric salt, the water was filtered and pumped through a steel main to the service reservoirs, 19 km (12 mi), on a rocky eminence at Las Piedras, at an elevation of about 90 m (300 ft) above the city. The company served nearly 35,000 houses, with the daily consumption averaging 140 litres (120 imp qt)

  • The Montevideo Waterworks Company, Ltd. was a British company, operating in Montevideo, Uruguay. Organized in 1879, its offices were at 61 Moorgate, London, England. The company was founded to take over a concession granted by the government of Uruguay for the construction of the necessary works for supplying the city with water derived from the Santa Lucía River. The point on that river at which the water was taken was 55 kilometres (34 mi) from the city, and after being treated with aluminoferric salt, the water was filtered and pumped through a steel main to the service reservoirs, 19 km (12 mi), on a rocky eminence at Las Piedras, at an elevation of about 90 m (300 ft) above the city. The company served nearly 35,000 houses, with the daily consumption averaging 140 litres (120 imp qt) per capita.
