The diesel pumping station of the Sliedrecht polder was in service from 1923 to 1978. From 1978 an electric pumping station located right next to the diesel pumping station keeps the water of the Sliedrecht polder at the right level. In the immediate vicinity is still the hull of one of the round polder mills that served in earlier years. The old steam pumping station that provided the drainage as the predecessor of the diesel pumping station has unfortunately disappeared.
