William Heerlein Lindley

Sir William Heerlein Lindley (1853-1917) was a British civil engineer born in Hamburg, Germany, who worked mainly on water supply and sewerage systems across central and eastern Europe. He often collaborated with his father, the engineer William Lindley, and went on to oversee construction of the Warsaw waterworks between 1881 and 1889, design the sewage system of Prague between 1895 and 1906, and build the city Bubenec sewage plant, which operated from 1907 to 1967 and is now a museum dedicated to his work. He also developed the water supply system for Iasi, Romania, connecting the city in 1911 to an aquifer 103 kilometers away, coordinated the water supply of Baku from 1899 until his death, and designed a water and sewerage system for Lodz, Poland in 1909. He died in London in 1917. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
