Review & FAQ:
The Pulgas Water Temple is a beautiful stone structure built in the Greek Revival style that was erected to commemorate the 1934 completion of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct.
Designed by architect William G. Merchant and located at the aqueduct's terminus on Cañada Road at Woodside, the Pulgas Water Temple consists of several fluted Corinthian columns arranged in a circle, upon which a large stone masonry ring with the words "I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people." To the east of the temple is a large, tree-lined reflecting pool and the grounds are a favorite spot for special celebrations such as weddings and receptions.
