The question of most moment bcforo
the City of Norwalk council‘s iilcct-
lug, last night, was the condition of
the city‘s water supply. The water
coiliulissionors claim the whole scar.
city of water is due to tile inadequate
size of the pipe from the (flrupc reser-
voir to the, distributing reservoir on
Spring ilill to carry the water down.
All except u'distance of about two
miles the pipe is twelve inches ill diet
The rclilailidcr of it is; sixteen
inches in diameter, bill. this latter
strip of pipe has no cffcct on the ca.
pacify of the whole line of pipe be-
tween the two reservoirs, Tho twelve
inch pipc extends about six miles. llc—
cailsc of tile great amount of talk
aiioiit the matter. recently, the commis-
sioners prepared a statement which
was submitted to the council. This
statement was largely made up of ex-
trucis from the reports of former coili-
liiissloncrs showing that filo present
conditions have existed for several
years. It. was as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and (‘ouilcil
of the City of Norwaik:
(living to tho many inquiries Ill rc-
latlon to the water supply of our city,
the Water Commissioners submit for
your consideration, the following facts
taken from the records ill our office.
as follows:
it was ugrccd upon by the engineers

amount of water Which can possibly ll.-
curried by the twolve-iilch pipe. from
the Grlipc reservoir to the distributing
reservoir on Spring liill, scientifically
calculated, is 1,325,000 gallons pcr day
of twenty-four hours, or 55,203 gallons
per hour.
At certain IIIRPS. during extreme dry
and very cold weather. the roilslliiicrs
upon the system consume the wholc
flow during the hours in which they
use water-«say from II ll. "L, to {I ii, iii.
-wllicll upon the basis of l..’l‘13.w‘
gallons in twenty-four hours. is at the
rate of £8,333 gallons per hour. during
use. Consequently there is a deficiency
during those hours of 33.125 gallons.
This must either be taken froiii our
ilrc supply in the Spring Hill rcscr-
voir. or be purchased from South Nor-
walk.
The Water Commissioners have
drawn to the greatest extent they felt
they ought. from the distributing res-
ervoir. which can he done. by turning
the water directly iilto thr- silppiy plpc
before entering the reservoir. illid at
that. time when the consumption of
water was very much less than of pros-
cnt, the result was very unsatisfactory.
‘li-l the pressure at times, at the
"Bridge,“ was below thirty pounds.
thereby depriving a large number of
consumers of water. and causing com—
plaints from manufacturing collipuntoa.
During the past fifteen years the
number of pipe connections on our
iiluin lanc nearly doubled, and for the
aunt twelve years the increase IIIIF

It can he soon It would be impossible
to supply the needs of the city at the

large number of consumers wore will-
ing to be deprived of water. A car-
liiiil amount of pressure must be main-
tllined for fire protection. or the city
might become liable for damages.

bring the water down from the alter.

periodical troubles. has been recogniz-
