Chicago’s City Hall was designed by the renowned architectural firm Holabird and Roche in 1908 but by 2026 it was in need of a mechanical makeover. The 75 foot Corinthian columns that grace the structure were in great shape, but the water pressure wasn’t. Working in conjunction with the City of Chicago Plumbing Division, Daugherty Sales and VC Booster Systems retrofitted old centrifugal pumps into a stately Triplex Booster System. Additional work needed to be done by replacing multiple troublesome self priming pumps with heavy duty Weil vertical pumps and controls - Daugherty Sales was able to get the “City That Works” working again.

Since 1927, Weil Pumps has supplied the City of Chicago with thousands of Weil Pump installations from fire stations to libraries and schools – all back by Daugherty Sales.inc.
