The Hinds Pumpimg Plant in California near Arizona - Hayfield Pumping Plant
Loading...
Uploaded by ArizonaAdventures on Oct 26, 2010
Driving up to the Hinds pumping plant. The Hinds Pumping Plant is the pump on the Colorado River Aqueduct that you can easily see from I-10 east of Coachella Valley. Most people call it Hayfield, since that's the name on the exit. In 1967 it was renamed from "Hayfield Pumping Plant" to "Julian Hinds Pumping Plant." If all nine pumps are turned on the water overshoots the tunnel and carves away at the rocks above. This is the point where the water enters the tunnel under the Little San Bernardinos. It's all downhill from here as the water travels around Desert Hot Springs, under White Water Canyon, under I-10 and then under Mt. San Jacinto.

Two days ago, on our way home from Arizona, we saw these pipes protruding from a mountain. Wondered what it was, "googled" a descriptin of what we saw, and got all the info I needed, including your video. Very interesting! Thanks for posting it.

@drogers321 Awesome! I would always drive by this thing too and thought I had to at least take a closer look at what it really was. Glad you liked my video and thanks for the comment!

@fgfgd2 I've always wanted to take the road over there. It was a little strange.
