OLD BRICK PUMP HOUSE

At 31275 Veasy Street in Alvarado, sat a 100-year old brick building that housed a pump that used to pump most of the water in Southern Alameda County.  The Union Sanitary District  bought the property in 1999 and made plans to level the building and replace it with a new fuel station in a new corporation yard.  A 1995 environmental impact report showed no buildings of historical significance were found on the property, so plans moved forth to demolish the building.  In April 1999, the brick-pumping house was demolished.

Photo of the old brick building is now on display at the Union City Historical Museum.
