HARTFORD WATER WORKS.
For engraving of Pump House, &c., located at No. 2 Water street, see p. 275. Surveys were commenced Oct., 1853, ground broke June, 1854, and first pumping of water Oct. 23d, 1855. The stone pier in the river, to protect the receiving pipe, is where, at low water, there is 12 feet in depth, and the pipe is six feet from the bottom, thus receiving a supply of the purest water that flows in the Connecticut, and is many rods above any drainage from the gutters of the city. The pumps are connected with the river by 149 ft. of 24 inch diam. iron pipe.
The MACHINERY for puinping is different in principle from anything heretofore used for this purpose .-- Four double pumps of simple construction are employed, and these are so actuated by eams as to produce a constant and uniform flow of water ; A highly finished Condensing Beam Engine supplies the power, and between it and the pumps, gearing is introduced, by means of which they are driven at a speed much less than that at which the engine runs. The machinery is noiseless in its ope- ration while delivering one million gallons of water in twelve hours at the reservoir, which is at an elevation of 125 feet above the river, and one and one-third miles distant from it, and it is satisfactory to know that this result of native enter- prise is producing economic results better than those of any other pumping machine in the country.
The ENGINE and PUMPS, as the Comm'rs and Engineer report, " prove themselves fully adequate to their task. They have performed their duty highly satisfactory to all parties inter- ested, much surpassing in point of economy the best dnty of any Cornish Engine. The complete success of the new En- gine and Pumps manufactured by the Woodruff and Beach Iron Works, is very gratifying to this Board, and should be a matter of local pride to all of our citizens. The pumps keep a continuous stream of water running through the rising main, without any of the noise and jar attending the working of the Cornish Engine ; and the manufacturers of this machinery are entitled to much credit for their enterprise in bringing this experiment to a snecessful re: ult." The load upon the Engine at low water, and with a fuil Reservoir, is 11,934 pounds.
