GErrLEiiEisz—We beg to la coriSideration of the needs an of our Water Servrce. in so far as to brin the matter before our fellow citizens by a or- ough meeting called for that purpose at the earliest time Within your pleasure. , Our Water Works need, and should have, an increased Water Storage. Its capacity is in- sufficient for the demand as now_ made. upon us, and if a dry period occur again as in the summer of 1891. we W111 be in a condition of inability to supply the water needed for; do- gestic and 0t or uses, and protection irom re. . Our present capacity for storage will not ex- ceed one. undred millions of gallons. Our consumption or water in the summer season is estimated to be one million, .five hundred thousand gallons daily. This With the evapo- ration and wastage of water unavmdable, comesafear of being "outpf water” when most needed. Our population is increasmg, and the demand for water is greater every year. South Norwalk With a smaller popula- tion than ours usmg its water. has a storage capaCity of about five hundred millions of ga Ions, and from all the information ob- tainable. that amount of storage is no more than needed by their own people, We cannot expect to be supplied from the Sout11_Norwalk Wa er Works should our sup- ply fail. We must enlarge our Works, in this requirement,to avmd what is so much dreaded by all,,Viz : a “water famine]: Our Borough Engineer‘has made some preliminary surveys in localities suited for a Storage Reservou‘ of sufiiment Size and capacity, and can give an estimated cost of the work. In our opinion the revenue from use .of water can be made to meet the increased in- terest on the money neededfor this outlay, prov1ded the money can be borrowed at the same rates as is now being paid for our Bor- ough Water Bonds, Viz; 4 per cent. per annum. We therefore bring this important matter to your attention believmg it, viz: the increased storage supply a neceSSity for the present and future needs of our Water Works.
