Water cribs are offshore structures that collect water from close to the bottom of a lake to supply a pumping station onshore. The name crib is derived from the function of the structure—to surround and protect the intake shaft. Cities supplied with drinking water collected by water cribs include Chicago, Illinois;[1] Cleveland, Ohio;[2] Buffalo, New York;[3] Oregon, Ohio;[4] Toledo, Ohio;[5] and Monroe County, Michigan.[6]
Lighthouse use
Water cribs were also used as a lighthouse foundation type. These wooden cribs were constructed onshore then towed to the site where they were filled with stone so they sank in place. The crib was then leveled and capped with concrete or masonry on which the lighthouse structure was constructed.[7]
