| Jylppy water intaking station, Kotka |
 |
Found totally accidentally, this place is the second abandoned water related station in Kotka we've checked. Perhaps it is a result of real estate policies of Kotka water works, that such places exist or then we've just had luck. Anyway, the place seemed to have been a water intaking station and abandoned for some time, not a very long time though.
 |
We were looking for a good place to stop, eat and read maps when we found this. It was a place to stop, but also to inspect closer. |

 |
It wasn't hard to get in, since windows had been broken, but walking through the jungle required some effort. |
 |
Even such a small booth had a dedicated transforming section. |
 |
Danger, yes, yes. |
 |
And ofcourse there had to be the Transformers© too. |
 |
Water well and a heavy shutter blocking it's stream when required. The hole had gathered a variety of garbage, but there was plenty of space to fill. |
 |
The shutter was hanging from a wire controlled by this primitive winch. It was a bit rusty, but could actually still move the shutter up and down. |
 |
The pumping room. |
 |
Wells under the pumping room were not any more inviting looking. |
 |
It was surprising to find even pumps from here! They are almost always removed, and these are not even old or very small. |
 |
Connection strip terminals and switchboxes weren't quite that intact. |
 |
Zero to ten bar line pressure gauge. |
