The pumping station feeds water into the New River - which is neither new (having been built at the beginning of the 17th C) nor a river (it's an aqueduct supplying water to London, taken from the River Lea near Hertford and from Chadwell Spring, Amwell Spring, and other springs and wells along its course).
