The water was pressurised in a pumping station at 321 High Street and supplied through thirty miles of pipes below the city's streets.

Glasgow was one of the few cities to have such a high pressure hydraulic system and it operated from the 1890s until 1964.

Can anyone confirm if this is correct? Or provide another explanation?
