Pump House In the early days of settlement in Nahariya, the residents of the colony suffered from a lack of regular water supply for both drinking and agriculture.
In February 1935, a well was drilled at the corner of Weizmann and Steinmetz streets (Weizmann 18), following the advice of the expert Ruprecht Pickard.
Already at a depth of 20 meters, the well yielded a large quantity of water suitable for drinking, with a capacity of over 300 cubic meters per hour.
The pump house, located above the well, pumped the water into the water tower, from which it flowed by gravity to the agricultural plots.
The drilled well was named “Well No. 2.” On February 17, 1935, a “Water Ball” was held to celebrate this joyful event.
Among the guests was Chaim Weizmann, who would later become the first President of the State of Israel.
