Discussion

Tony M Mar 18, 2016:
@ Didier I'm pretty convinced it is indeed a MV power line — but I believe its function will be to power the pumping station's large electric pumps.
Didier Fourcot Mar 18, 2016:
Ligne MT? Il serait utile de savoir de quoi il s'agit, si je comprends "moyenne tension", la "station de reprise" pourrait être un poste électrique moyenne tension

pumping station

It of course means the 'station' where the water is drwn — we don't know if that is from a river, or some kind of spring or well.

Although of course 'pumping' might be for any number of other purposes too, in practice, and in context, this will be correctly understood.
