I was driving back to Tulsa through Sapulpa and saw this place. It looked abandoned so I decided to investigate. I looked at the front gate and noticed a fairly new lock that looked like it had been used recently. But none the less, I had to find a way in. I walked around the barbed wire fences and found a large hole that someone cut into it. I believe this place may have been a small water treatment plant, because there was a large agitator tank and some other equipment around. There was also plenty of large pipes, valves, and pumps. I wanted to go around and take some more pics of other old pumps and buildings, but I walked by one building and heard pumps running. So, I think part of this facility is still in use, which is why I made my visit quick. There wasnt that much evidence of people hanging out here, and I was surprised not to find any graffiti, but it looks like some people had used this place for a hang out before. Overall a pretty cool place, just wish I could have explored some more, maybe I will go back.

Abandoned Water Treatment Facility In Sapulpa
RE: Abandoned Water Treatment Facility In Sapulpa
This was the old treatment plant for Sapulpa, before they built the new ones out next to Sahoma Lake.
I thought they were still using it for something, I might have to go out and look through there to.

Be careful if you do go there, I heard equipment running in one building that I didnt go into. I'm guessing someone must come in there periodically to maintain all that stuff.

Very cool indeed. I don't think I've seen this around before.
