Point State Park's pump house contains the machinery and controls that operate the famous fountain nearby. A well beneath the building taps into the aquifer sometimes known as Pittsburgh's "fourth river"; this relatively clean water source supplies the fountain. The sides of the building are watertight in case of flooding.
