since records were first kept in 1873:

Featured product: Pressure-booster stations
------------------------------------------------------

Water pressure isn't just a matter of quality of life -- adequate 
pressure is also crucial to fire protection. Even though residential 
construction has slowed in most of the US, some areas are still growing. 
  Even in places where construction has ceased altogether, the need for 
water pressure improvements has remained. For some areas, water towers 
are enough to provide pressure throughout a community. But in others, 
booster stations are needed to provide the needed pressure throughout 
the day.  Because peak demand for water (in the morning and in the early 
evening) can be several times the demand throughout the rest of the day, 
and especially overnight, most pressure-booster systems require a 
combination of duty pumps and jockey pumps.  Thanks to the huge range of 
pumps available from the Patterson Pump Company, we are able to supply 
booster stations in sizes ranging from just enough to cover a small 
building all the way up to systems capable of pressurizing an entire 
rural water district. Enclosure options can range from the most basic 
all the way up to enclosures that look like ordinary homes -- completely 
masking the presence of the equipment inside.
