Members of the Curry Taylor and Allapattah neighborhood associations were also on hand for the cutting the ribbon.  The ceremony marked the completion of a new wall surrounding the WASD facility, located at 3625 NW 36th St., Miami.

 

The 50-year-old facility houses two water storage tanks and a water pumping station. For many years the facility was enclosed by a chain link fence but residents, led by Geraldine Owens, asked that a permanent and decorative wall replace the fence and they worked with WASD to carry out the project.
