Description
A waterworks-improvement project was undertaken in Prescott AZ during the Great Depression with the aid of Public Works Administration (PWA) funds. The PWA supplied a $60,000 loan and $20,871 grant; the total cost of the project was $20,800. Work occurred between April and July 1936.
It is very difficult to determine what and where the water system work was done, without a deep diver into the archives of the local public works department. The fire hydrants shown here are near Ken Lindley Park.
