The Shades Mountain Filter Plant is located at 3516 Cahaba Road. It was built in 1890 as a reservoir for water coming from the Cahaba Pumping Station.
In 2018, B. L. Harbert International began a construction project that included a new state-of-the art filter building along with yard-piping tie-ins and upgrades, pump station upgrades, and electrical and instrumentation. The new filter building was completed in 2021 and was designed to process 80 million gallons of water per day.
