William Heerlein Lindley

Sir William Heerlein Lindley (30 January 1853 in Hamburg - 30 December 1917 in London^[1]) was a British civil engineer.

One of three sons of the famous British engineer William Lindley, WH Lindley worked together with his father on a number of projects and was a respected engineer in his own right. Between 1881 and 1889 he oversaw the construction of Warsaw waterworks, designed by his father in 1876-8. He oversaw the construction of the sewage works in Prague, built between 1895 and 1906, which was in use until 1967. He also coordinated the project for Baku's water supply system, working from 1899 up until his death in 1917. In 1909 he also designed a water and sewerage system for Łódź, Poland, although the expense of the system meant the project was shelved until the 1920s.
