A loud, motorized, whirring sound fills the nearly 90-year-old brick building off Marble Street as water flows unnoticed underneath until it pours out the other side of the historic landmark, much like an overflowing sink. Thanks to three 20-ton turbines inside, the nearly 5,000-square-foot structure — the Watertown Municipal Hydroelectric Plant — powers all city-owned buildings and facilities. The plant generates about 9 percent of the city’s annual revenues — about $3 million. Helped by a strong February, the city has earned $2.82 million from the plant through April of this budget year.
