Ettie St. Pump Station
Ettie St. Pump Station Watershed includes:
Broadway Branch
The Ettie Street Pump Station discharges stormwater from a large area
of West Oakland. These lowlands had drained slowly to the marsh upon which
the ill-fated Cypress Structure was built. Flooding remained a problem
in this area until the stormdrain and pump system was built in 1954. Flows
from the Broadway Branch of Glen Echo Creek were also diverted into this
system.
