בריכת המים
בשנת תר"ץ (1930) יסדו מתיישבי "שיבת-ציון" ו"נווה-ציון" אגודה קואופרטיבית. "האגודה למען שיבת-ציון", שהקימה וניהלה את מכון המים המקומי. האגודה חפרה באר. בנתה את מגדל המים והניחה צינורות להולכת המים.
משנת תרצ"ג (1933) זרמו מים מהבאר אל הבריכה וממנה לבתי תושבי "שיבת-ציון" ו"נווה-ציון" ולשדותיהם. וזאת עד שהתחברו למערכת המים העירונית בשנת תשמ"ד (1984). בדיקת גובה המים נעשתה ע"י מצוף.
צדוק כמוס היה אחראי על תחזוקת הבאר. כשהבריכה התמלאה היה עליו לכבות את המנוע (הילדים היו צועקים "הבריכה משתפכת")

The water pool
In 1930, the settlers of "Shivat-Zion" and "Neve-Zion" founded a cooperative association. "The Association for Shivat-Zion", which established and managed the local water institute. The association dug a well. .
From 1933, water flowed from the well to the pool and from there to the homes of the residents of "Shivat-Zion" and "Neve-Zion" and their fields. Until they connected to the municipal water system in 1984. The water level check was done by a buoy.
Zadok Camus was in charge of maintaining the well. When the pool was full he had to turn off the engine (the children would shout "the pool is overflowing")
