OK, here's the secret:
The ordinary-looking house on Wade Ave actually disguises a pump station for the city of Raleigh public utilities.
A pump station is basically a supercharger - Water comes in, the station speeds it up, and pushes the water uphill. Without these things, the city's water would run backwards. It would never get to your sink.

I think there’s one like it in Wichita.
“Without these things, the city’s water would run backwards. It would never get to your sink.”
It is real good they have them! Thanks fellows who invented this stuff!
Maybe we need “men’s history” and we can focus on all men have done to improve our daily lives.
And did they do it for themselves? No, we all know that, men would live in squalor happily (ok, not all, but many, even my sainted father liked to sit around in his underwear).
They did if for THE CHILDREN and THE WOMEN.
So thanks guys, cause it’s better now that it was in the caves!
I had a Hot Wheels Supercharger. The car went in slowly and shot out the other side.
So probably something like that.
Actually, what the pump station does is lift the water to static storage in a tank on a hill somewhere, from which it runs by gravity to your house.
