Mark Wilmer Pumping Plant is the first and largest plant in the CAP system, with six 66,000-horsepower pumps that lift the water more than 800 vertical feet into Buckskin Mountain Tunnel. This perspective, captured by a CAP drone, shows the enormity of that lift.
Editor’s note: In 2024, CAP employees submitted photos they took while at work for inclusion into our annual safety calendar. This photo by Michael Rogers, maintenance engineer, was featured in February.
