The historical pump house was opened in 1875 and operated for almost 100 years before it was transformed to a museum of municipal technology which it is still to date. There is free admission, however the museum is opened mostly just on Sundays.

The pump house is an information and meeting point with an exhibition and training for schoolchildren. The house is on the Icelandic bridge next to the Fyrisån river in Uppsala. The building was Uppsala Waterworks for almost 100 years and then became a municipal engineering museum.
With a modernization in 2016-2017, the pump house is not only a historic building, but also houses a new interactive exhibition where visitors can learn more about water, waste and the history of water in Uppsala.
