pump houses
Fluid transfer facilities
Pump houses are small buildings that contain pumps and related equipment for moving water or other fluids.
They shelter the machinery that draws water from wells, maintains pressure in water systems, or manages irrigation.
The term appears in contexts from municipal water supply to rural farming: The old pump house by the lake still has its original equipment.
