1937 Press Photo Spanish Style Sewage Treatment Plant at San Mateo California

At one time in California only missions and homes were of Spanish architecture. Now the state has initiated the design into this Sewage treatment plant, constructed in San Mateo, with the aid of an allotment of $45,000 from the PWA. Two antiquated plants have been replaced by this new project, which will give added protection to the users of San Francisco Bay waters into which sewage formerly not properly treated was discharged.
