HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CHAMBERSBURG WATER DEPARTMENT
The first attempt made to furnish water under pressure, to the citizens of Chambersburg, was made by the Chambersburg Water Company, of which Mr. James Riddle was President, in 1817. This company furnished water, under pressure, through a wooden pipe system, which consisted simply of pine logs with suitable hole bored through them from end to end, and the logs fastened together end to end by a heavy brass tapered ferrule. Water was furnished until 1875 or 1876. The pump for this system was located on the South side of the Falling Spring at a point almost directly in line with the buildings of the Chambersburg Hospital, and the dwelling house on the farm now owned by the T. B. Wood Estate, and was driven by a water wheel. The reservoir was located where the present buildings of the Chambersburg Hospital now stand, and during the construction of the new portion of the Hospital, traces of the old reservoir structure were uncovered, and some of the old wooden pipe was dug up. The pressure under which this water was furnished must have, of necessity, been quite low, and the old records show that the system, as a whole was not satisfactory.
On March 1, 1875, the following men were elected to the Chambersburg Town Council: W. B. Gilmore, Jacob H. Miller, Samuel M. Worley, J. P. Culberston, John C. Gerbig, John Suesserote, Thomas Cook, and David Harmony, with G. W. Nitterhouse as Burgess. On July 17, 1875, this body took action setting Friday, August 20, 1875, as an election day for voting on a bond issue not to exceed $60,000.00, for the purpose of erecting a suitable water works. This election was duly held, and the official count reported at a special meeting of Council held August 21, 1875, was as follows:
In favor of the Bond Issue 648
Not in favor of the Bond Issue 317
This was the beginning of the Borough of Chambersburg entering into the business of supplying water to its citizens.
Bids were received for the necessary equipment on September 25, 1875, and the contract was awarded to H. P. M. Birkenbine at a price of $53,850.00 which covered a one million gallon pump, boiler, one million gallon reservoir, 28 fire plugs, 5,400 feet of 10-inch pipe, 1,750 feet of 8-inch pipe, 7,693 feet of 6-inch pipe, and 18,500 feet of 4-inch pipe, or a total of 6.3 miles of pipe. It is a matter of some interest to note that all of this old pipe and some of the old Birkenbine fire plugs are still in service in Chambersburg today.
This action on the part of the Borough was contested by the Chambersburg Water Company, but, in the end, all of the actions of Council were upheld by the Courts.
This first pumping plant, constructed in 1875-1876, a steam operated one, was located on the West Bank of the Conococheague Creek almost directly op- posite the foundry of the Wolf Company, and has always been known locally as the Birkenbine Pumping Plant. In 1891, a water-driven pumping plant was installed at the C. B. Gish Mill, afterward known as Siloam, and another reservoir constructed with a capacity of 2,000,000 gallons, on the farm of Joseph Horst. A 2,000,000 gallon steam pumping plant is held in readiness to operate at Siloam, and can be placed in service in ten hours in an emergency.
In 1910 and 1911, the Conococheague Creek at Siloam, as a source of water supply, was abandoned by the Borough, and a supply brought in by gravity from the State Forest at Caledonia. This was a vast improvement over any of the other supplies that the Borough of Chambersburg had been using but the drought of 1931, 1932, and 1933 brought very forcibly to the attention of
40
387,000,000 GALLON IMPOUNDING RESERVOIR

the authorities that the supply might, under certain conditions, become quite inadequate. To guard against any shortage of water that might possibly occur, the Borough of Chambersburg proceeded to build a storage dam, at Caledonia across the Birch Run Valley, which holds 387,000,000 gallons of water. This dam will be held entirely full at all times for emergency purposes, and will supply the town, when using 2,000,000 gallons of water per day for 193 days, if there was not a drop of water flowing into the dam in all that time.
During the dry summer and fall of 1944, the streams were so low that they could not furnish the Borough's demand for water, and the 387,000,000 gallon storage was drawn on for 175,000,000 gallons, between July 4, 1944 and Decem- ber 26, 1944.
Due to the inability to procure the proper materials in sufficient quantities, on account of restrictions of the War Production Board, there were no water main extensions constructed during the year 1945.
The total cash and credits of this Department for 1945 were $81,186.62, and the total operating and non-operating expenses were $39,719.32, including de- preciation amounting to $13,042.73, which leaves a total gross profit, exclusive of interest charges, of $41,467.30.
Beginning with January 1, 1933, a Standard Public Utilities Accounting and Bookkeeping System was installed for this Department, after the making of a complete appraisal. The Reproduction Value New, less Accrued Depreciation, as of December 31, 1945, was $1,119,038.97.
