REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
Taking the consumption at two millions gallons per day during this time, and the water collected and wasted would amount to 7 millions gallons per day.
From all these facts it is believed that it is safe to rely upon our present supply as being adequate to four millions gallons per day, provided all the water of the basin is stored.
There now remains the question of how large a population this quantity will amply supply for all its varied uses.
Upon this point the report of 1863, above quoted, makes these statements.
"The usual mode of estimating is to allow a certain number of gallons to each individual enumerated in the population. At the time the Cochituate water works were projected, the engineers assumed that 282 gallons per day to each individual would be a sufficient allowance. This was assumed because the practice of supplying cities with water, up to that time, had found that quantity to be sufficient.
The following table exhibits the amount of water supplied by the Cochituate water works to the city of Boston from 1848 to 1863.

ably by the same laws that govern the increase of business, com- fort and refinement.
In Boston it is to be remarked, that in 1853, when the takers were 16,862 the fixtures supplied were 31,594; and that in Jan- uary 1, 1863, while the takers had increased 9472, the fixtures supplied had increased 46,294, or nearly five times as fast as the number of takers, showing that from year to year old takers are constantly adding to their fixtures as business necessity, domes- tic comfort or luxury add the motive, and increased prosperity the means of making the extension."
The following tabular statement is collected from various recent reports upon the subject of the water supply of various cities named. The conclusions are deduced from the amount of water supplied :

Assuming our supply as equal to four millions gallons per day, and the daily amount per individual as ample to be fifty gallons, then the number of population which can be supplied will be 80,000 ; or at sixty gallons 66,000, and at 70 gallons 57,000.
With any economy in the use of water it is believed that the present supply is adequate for a population of at least 60,000, and for purposes not essentially different from that for which water is now supplied, and at the same time it will be seen that there is no surplus for uses for manufacturing purposes beyond the ordinary supply for steam.

RESERVOIR DAM.
The raising of this dam has been accomplished during the year in accordance with the order of the City Council.
The contract for the work was continued by the Joint Stand- ing Committee on water, with Messrs. Riley & Smith, upon the same terms and conditions as the contract of 1870. It being considered by them to the advantage of the city so to do. The contractors finished the work Dec. 11, 1871.
The upper gate house was finished Dec. 16. This dam has now been raised 15 feet above the wash as left in 1865.
The roll-way is of solid stone masoney built very substantial, safe and secure.
The lateness of the season did not permit that finish to be made on the exterior slope of the dam which will be re- quired. This is a matter which will need attention early the coming spring, so that the outside slopes may be properly grassed over, and thus be protected from washing by the rains and show- ers of the season.
The quantity of materials moved and used in the enlargement of the work has been as follows :
8,750 cubic yards of Loam. 6,040

This includes all cut and dimension stone work in the two gate houses and roll-way. This enlargement has been done under the superintendence of Mr. Wm. H. Heywood, in a most faithful and satisfactory manner. The land which will be flowed has not been grubbed only partially.
145
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
Most of the loose woody refuse has been collected and burned upon all lots bought except that upon the Jos. Bottomly lot. This will be cleared of the wood during the winter, and the brush burned.
It will be necessary to continue the operation of removing, as far as practicable, the woody and organic matters still left upon this ground the coming season. This is urged as a matter of great importance in order to prevent as far as may be, any injurious ef- fect which these substances may have upon the waters stored, when used for domestic and culinary purposes.
The height of the water over the top of the flauge of the out- let pipe in the upper gate house, during the year, is given in the annexed table.

On the 30th day of December 1871, the Reservoir lacked 7.13 feet of being filled. This 7.13 feet represents a storage capacity of about 200 millions of gallons, or about 28 millions gallons, less than that of the first reservoir.
The quantity of water which can now be stored is estimated approximately at about 560 millions gallons.
ADDITIONAL SUPPLY.
The question of additional water supply is one of vital impor- tance to every present or prospective interest in the city.

water and the facts as stated in the reports of Nov. 17 and Dec. 9, it is appareut that this question from necessity will demand an early attention. The subject is not deemed at the present either inopportune or misplaced, because that whatever may be done in the future, much time must necessarily elapse before any fresh supply will be obtained, and in the mean time the question needs all the various consideration which one of this magnitude demands.
By the Reports above referred to, it is patent that the resources of Lynde Brook have a limit of from 3} to 4 millions gallons per day varying of course with the seasons.
From the west, and by the present or future mains, there are three methods by which the present supply may be increased.
First, by building a conduit across the ridge which divides the present Lynde Brook Valley at D. Waldo Kent's Mill in Leicester, so as to take the waste floods of Kettle Brook into the present Reservoir when the same is not full.
An arrangement of this nature, fairly used, would not infringe any manufacturing right now existing upon the stream, as it would propose to take nothing from them except the wastage of floods after their own Reservoirs were filled. Its utility would be entirely dependent upon this uncertain annual wastage. Yet in some years the quantity of water which might thus be stored would be of more value than the entire cost of making the con- duit across the ridge from basin to basin. It would possess the still further value and advantage of furnishing the means of tak- ·ing the waters of Kettle Brook through our present mains for the supply whenever the city should find it necessary and for its ad- vantage so to do. The waters of Kettle Brook which could thus be turned into the present system, would be that falling on 3200 acres, or an amount equal to about 7 millions gallons per day. The present Reservoir capacity upon the stream above this point is estimated at about 550 millions gallons.
The waters thus diverted when taken in full control by the city would have to be paid for to the mill owners below, but could thus be taken without further expense.
A still further advantage of this connection would be that in case of a failure of the supply as in 1870, any waters in the reservoirs on Kettle Brook above Kent's, could be bought and conveyed into
147
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
the present system at once without further expense of pumping or other contingencies. This advantage alone would have saved the city in 1870 from one-fourth to one-half of the cost of the construction of this conduit.
Second, to take and add to the present works Henshaw Pond. This pond has a water shed of 590 acres, and possesses a value equal to about one million gallons per day. The main from this pond could be connected with the present ones on the Leicester road near the house of Mr. Samuel L. Hodges. The outlay nec- essary to render this source available would be very large in pro- postion to the advantages obtained by the expenditure.
Third, to add to our present works Parson's Brook by taking it directly into the Hunt's Reservoir. The quantity which would be saved here would amount to perhaps 100 millions gallons per annum. To accomplish this would not cost over $1000 aside from any damage to land or for diverting the waters of said Brook.
In other localities surrounding the city which may be looked to as furnishing an increased supply of water is that of North Pond, so called, which lies in the northerly part of the city and at the head waters of Mill Brook. Levels have been taken and surveys made to ascertain the value of this source. The investi- gation has led to the conclusion that such a use can be made ad- vantageously of said pond, and at a more reasonable expense than any other available source in the immediate vicinity of the city. The pond lies at an elevation which gives an average head of 60 feet at Lincoln Square and 85 feet at Fox Mill, and about 100 feet upon the entire flat between Millbury street and the Providence & Worcester Railroad.
The city by its purchase of the Fox Mill water power, for sew- erage purposes in 1867, became part owner in all the rights, priv- ileges and liabilities in said pond. Thus if any expenditures are made upon the present dam, or other fixtures connected there- with, the city will be liable to pay about one-fourth of the amount so expended.
The present dam at the pond is an old one and has stood the test of many years, a test generally conceded the best as establishing the claim to permanency of any structure. Yet it is well known that many of our citizens have for years been questioning its sta-
20
148
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 26.
bility, and ever been skeptical of its solidity. Careful investiga- tions made by the Board of County Commissioners in 1869 and 1870 established the fact that it is unquestionably a structure en- tirely unsuitable to stand as a restraining barrier between such an amount of accumulated water as is held in its basin, and the destruction of a vast amount of the property, and the probable loss of hundreds of the lives of our citizens living in the valley between Main and Summer streets.
An order was passed by the County Commissioners A. D., 1870, after due notice to, and hearing of all the parties appcar- ing, who are supposed to be responsible for the care and keeping of this dam, and who are interested in the benefits to be derived from its maintainance, directing said owners to rebuild said dam in a manner which shall make it safe, as far as human power can construct it. The owners have taken no notice of this order, and probably do not intend to rebuild said dam.
The dam at the pond as at present constructed, stores the water of only one branch of the Mill Brook stream. There is one brook named Weasel Brook, the waters of which enter Mill Brook just below the present dam. By changing the location of the dam this brook may also be made tributary to the value of this reser- voir. Those who live near the dam say that this Weasel Brook supplies a very large quantity of water which now of course flows off in freshets and is of no practical value to any one. J. B. Francis, Esq. of Lowell when he made a careful examina- tion of the dam in 1869, suggested the propriety and pointed out the advantages which would result from placing the dam upon fresh ground in such location as would include this brook within the limits of the Reservoir.
The ground is advantageously situated to carry out this pur- pose. The cost of a new dam would hardly exceed the necessary amount of expenditure to put the old one in a safe and reliable condition, as ordered by the County Commissioners.
Surveys have been made to ascertain the area of the present pond, the amount of land which would be flowed by the building of a new dam so as to include Weasel Brook, the quantity of water which can now be stored and that when enlarged. These surveys and estimates give the following results, to wit :
The area of the present pond is 228.2 acres and will store about 650 millions gallons.
149
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
The additional area added by a new dam including Weasel brook would be 23 aeres, and would add 50 millions gallons to the storage capacity.
The cost of a new dam would be about $30,000 to which would need be added the flowage damages for 23 acres of land, and the damages to five mill owners for the right to divert the waters of said brooks and apply them to the supply of the city.
The main from the Pond to the city, would best be carried from Lincoln Square via. Salisbury, Grove, and Holden streets to the westerly end of the Pond, where it crosses Holden street.
This line is about 3700 feet shorter than the line to follow West Boylston street to the Pond at its present outlet.
For a short distance in Holden street the main would have to be laid an extra depth, and for a short distance in the bed of the pond it would be necessary to make an open trench to draw the waters of the easterly end of the pond back to the main.
The distance from Lincoln Square to the Pond by this route is 10.804 feet.
The main southerly from Lincoln Square would best follow Summer, Grafton and Water streets to Millbury street.
The portion of the city which would be supplied from North Pond, would lie along the line of Mill Brook from Lincoln Square southward, including an area in which are located most of the largest takers in the city, as the Machine Shops, and railroad stations, Gas Works &c.
The portion of the city supplied from this source would be isolated from the present distribution by simply closing gates at the junction of such streets as would be changed from one to the other, and by inserting a few in such locations as might need them.
Some objection may be made to this low head as a fire service, as in this district is located much of the most valuable property in the city.
This may be obviated by opening gates when required, at suit- able points between the present and the North Pond mains, and by keeping the waters from flowing back into North Pond by a suitably arranged check valve upon the main above Grove Mill.
This supply under any circumstances would afford ample pro- visions for the steamers, and would add a source entirely inde-
150
CITY DOCUMENT .- No. 26.
pendent of all present means, forming an advantage under some contingencies of inestimable value.
The quantity of water which may be supplied from this source is estimated approximately at 7 to 8 millions gallons per. day. The estimate is derived from the water shed of Mill Brook as given in a report of the Joint Standing Committee on sewers in 1866, in which it is stated to be 5024 acres above Lincoln Square.
By an examination of the country below the Pond it is adjudged that the area drained into it, including Weasel Brook, is about twice that of Lynde Brook or about 3700 acres.
An incidental advantage resulting from a complete control of this Pond would be the facility with which the present Mill Brook Sewer could be flushed with water at such times as might be found necessary.
The details of construction, as to the kind and form of dam necessary to be built ; the kind and size of pipe best to be used ; the outlet at the pond ; and the necessary improvement of the Basin : with the filtering apparatus before the outlet; with an estimate of the cost have not been entered into, and have been studied at present, no farther than was necessary to form a gen- eral opinion as to the desirability of adding at some future day these waters to the present system.
In conclusion upon this subject, the statement heretofore made is repeated, that from this source it is confidently believed, that in working up all the necessary details and estimates it will be found that from no source, within reach of the city, can so large an amount of water be obtained by the outlay of so small an amount of means, as from this source.
The Report of the Water Commissioner, giving the details of the operations in his department with an inventory of the mate- rials now on hand together with its appraised value is herewith transmitted.
The present value of the property is $752,023.69.
The nature, amount and disposition of the water investment will be given by the City Treasurer in his Annual Report.
