Smoke
on the Water:
A New Year’s Day blaze at the newly
restored Fairmount Water Works has delayed the opening of an interpretive
center and restaurant at the site, but plans are still underway
to turn the 200-year-old Schuylkill River landmark into a tourist
attraction, according to Philadelphia Water Department spokesman
Ed Grusheski G’74, a key player in the project [“Rebirth
on the River,” January/February 2000]. A recent engineer’s
report showed the damage was not as extensive as had been initially
feared, and Grusheski expects the center to open in the fall.
