SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ci. court of common council bl o elty reservolft on the brook watershed, the water question Of Norwich cannot be assum- ed to be permanently settled. Several times before in this decade plana for a new reservoir have been consider- ably further advanced than at pres- ent, only to be upset the votes of the citizens or ms ng of vvlmal scenery. From the present temper of ming of the inhabitants of the city it would seem as though nothing could impede the e-tablishment of a new water supply .n the immediate future; if not at Pease brook, then at some other more desirable point. It is the belief or many who are close to the present city administra— tion that the plan to approve the Pease brook watershed was a_strateg- ic move. The effect was to crystallize the public attention in an extraordi- nary way upon the’water question as no modified or inexpensive proposition could have done. The realization that the city was almost if not quite com mitted to the outlay of $1,000,000 for & new reservoir has focusacd attention on the alarming conditions at present existing and has paved the way for favorable and united action on any plan that promises an_adequate sup- at the expenditure that the city can afford. If the Pease brook plan fis voted down by the citizens. it need not take over one week for the SWift moving ex- ccutive committee of the court of common conneil to have another plan ready for the city meeting, and it is the general belief that this will be the mode of procedure. Cost of Fairview Exceeded Estimates. The history of the Norwich water works is onme af great financial suc- cess coupled with equal uncertainty. It the same elements should enter into private - transactions they would be termed speculation. The original Fairview reservoir was completed Oc— tober 23, 18368, at a cost of $268,000. The estimate was $185,000. The res- ervoir was capable of holding 333,000,- 090 gallons of water supplied from a watershed ' of three-quarters of a square mile. The rated average of wa- ter to be obtained from this water- shed was estimated at 720,000 gallons daily. Fairview did not fill for some fifteen months after the gates were closed. For twelve years the reser- voir was only full four times, and re- mained full less than two months dur- ing the whole period. Meadow Brook Development. In 1881 a_ low dam was bullt at Meadow brodk and the brook connect- ea with Fairview by a pipe line. The right to use Meadow brook when the water was running six inches over the Falls company’s dam was obtained. In October, 1892, the water was 80 low in the reservoir that the board of wa- ter commissioners purchased of the Falls company the right to use all the water of Meadow brook until January 1, 1893, thus giving us three times the old watershed. The flashboards were raised fifteen Inches, making the ca- pacity of the reservoir 350,000,000 gal- lons.” No increase has since been made to the watershed, although all the rights of the Falls company have been purchased. Move for Additional Supply. In March, 1899, the board of water commissioners made a report to the court of common eouncil calling at- tention to the great increase in the use of city water and stating that many available sites had been consid- ered. They announced that they had concluded to purchase lands necessary for the development of a water sup- ply on Stony brook. The estimate for land, water rights and rights of way for building such reservoir and a suitable line to Washington square was $297,000. The board of water commissions, with the approval of the «ourt of common counell, immediate- ly purchased 210 acres of land neces- sary for the Stony brook plan. This was two-thirds of the land required, In undertaking this project the water commissioners took the ground that ‘the extension could be made at that time without increasing the total ex- penditure chargeable to the water works or decreasing the total amount paid to the city treasurer yearly, inas- much as $10,000 had annually been ex- pended in replacing the cement mains, which work was nearing completion, and the $10,000 could be used ro pay interest on the cost of the new reser- voir. Various Plans Considered. Messrs. Chandler and Palmer at that time presented to_the water com- missioners a completé report on_all the available watersheds about Nor- wich. They made surveys for another dani below Fairviaw, to cost $50,000, and for raising the dam at Fairview ten feet, at a cost of $70,000,. and for establishing a reservoir at Meadow brook 25 feet deep, at a cost of $224,- 000. Al of these plans were deemed inexpedient for various reasons. but principally because there would not be added any additional area of water- shed. . Gardner Lake was estimated to hola about 1,000,000,000 gallons. It would require a pipe line 81-2 miles long, with a mile of deep cutting if the line was laid by way of Steny brook. Tak- en together with the expense of ob- taining the mill rights, and the neces- sary policing of the lake, on account of Its being a summer resort, the Gardner Lake. plan was deelared too expensive. Peck Hollow brook was found to have a watershed of 12 square miles, sparseley settled. The site for the res- ervoir would be a swamp. A railroad passes through the site, and there are Valuable water rights io be Teckoned wit Pease brook was found to have am- ple‘watershed, but was too thickly in- habited. The Yantic river near the old paper mell was of sufficient eleva- tion, but raised the objection, as did several other tributary brooks, that water rights would be very high. The Stony Brook Plan. At Stony brook Chandler and Pal- mer reported a watershed equal to Fairview and Meadow brook combin- ed, or about 2.3 square miles. There are practically no inhabited houses on the watershed. The anaylsis of the water is favorable. There are 27 acres of swampy land in the site, but 50 interspersed with hard land 'that the removal or covering of the mud is comparatively easy. A- branch of Stony brook huving a watershea of 11-2 square miles could be utilized at @ later date if necessary. There is but_one miil from which power would be diverted. The pipe line would be five miles long. The expense would b less in proportion to the amount of water to be obtained tian of any oth- er source investigated. The water commissioners in 1593 alse called in W. H. Richards, C. K. of New London. He coincided with Chandler & Palmer on all Impertant details. He stated that Steny brook offered the best and most avallable source for a permanent additional supply. At the mext City election the citi- n:‘:h‘u mmu.u Jaw oassed by the e ing and empower- g the city of Fwith To lssue. nonds to an amount not exceeding $300,000 br : the project 4, 1899, the board of water s submitted to the court 4 report made by Charles A. Allen of Worcester on the water situation in Norwich. Mr. Allen Save as his opinion that the expense torage capacity to the Dl"l'fl! remvoh- would be far in ox- cess of the advantage gained. He also declared that Imasmuch as all large consumers were metered the installa- tion of meters for private consumers would result in a very slight saving and Would cost at least $70,000. Mr Allen concluded his report by agreeing with Messrs. Chandier & Palmer of Norwich and Richa of New Londo that Stony brook wi the most avail- able site and it would be a mistake not to_develop it at once. On Oct. 2d following Alderman Sher- man introduced a resolution in the court- of common council authorizing Mayor F. L. Osgood to appoint three members to investigate the possible increase of the city’s water supply by providing a requisite dam to retain the ‘water from the so-callad Meadow brook watershed. Aldermen Sherman _and Stoddard and Counciiman _Gilmour were appointed on this committ Artesian Wells Tried. On Jan, 8, 1900, the water in Fair- view reached a point 173 inches below a full pond. The board of water com- missioners decided that immediate ac- tion wae necessary for a temporary in- crease in the supply. Experimental wells wera driven on the Meadow brook watershed, These wells were driven to a depth of 85 feet and furnished water at the rate of 50,000 gallons each per day. Coplous rains came very soon and ths well project was given up. Engineer Blake's Report. The speclal committee reported on March 5, 1900, having employed Percy M. Blake, civil engineer, of Newton- ville, Mass. Mr. Blake recommended that Fairview dam be raised three feet; that meters be installed: that a pipe line be laid to Lefingwell pond on the Stony brook watershad, the pond to be cleaned out and the present dam raised three to four feet. The cost of this plan was estimated as follows: Pipe line to Washington square, $154,000; cleaning basin and construction, $38,- 500; total, $192,500, not including rights of wa. It was estimated that this lan would deliver to Fairview reser- \a:h' an average of 2,000,000 gallons per ¥ Pease Brook Recommended. No action was take ihe court ot common council unti 5, 1900, when Mayor Thayer, Alderman LaPlerre and Councilman Jewett were appointed anofher special committee to present plans for an additional water supply. This committee reported May 6, 1901 that Hill, Quick & Allen of Bait{more had been employed as engineers to in- vestigate the fiatter and their report was recommended to be adopted. This report was in favor of Pease brook watershed in the town of Lebanon. This plan was thereupon unanimously adopted by the council. Hill, Quick & Allen reported against the use of meters, against any supply involving pumping and against fur- ther development of Fairview or the use.of Gardner Lake and Peck Hollow for same reasons given by Messrs. Chandler, Palmer and Richards, as noted hitherto Hill, Quick & Allen further stated: ‘antic river, Trading Cove brook. Stony brook and Pease brook ar2 the only sources within a reasonable dis- tance from the city from iwhich an additional supply can be developed at an expense approximating the amount you are authorized to expend for the purpose. Trading Cova brook could supply only the lower parts of the city and if this scheme should be adopted the city would have to be divided into two service areas, the higher to be supplied from Fairview ressrvoir ex- clusively. In their opinion the Stony brook plan provided only enough water for the immediate future, without being ample for all time. They declarad that the existence of 100 houses or more on the Pease brook watershed was not a seri- ous drawback and believed that a sat- isfactory arrangement could be made with the mills affected to compensate them for damages by relsasing water from the reservoir ‘whenever it was needed by the mills, “There is no doubt,” say Hifl, Quick & Alien, “as to the feasibility of the four projects proposed. Any on2 of them would supplement vour present aupply to such an extent as to justify the neces- sary outlay and any one of ‘them would with reasonable management give you pure water.’ They, howevzr, conclud- ed by recnmmendlng the Pease hrook plan, owing to the larger watershed and the facility of laying a pipe line. ‘The board of water commissioners reportzd they could not carry out the Pease brook plan within the sum au- thorized, and they passed a resolution Bept. 12, 1901, rescinding and annulling the resolution to establish a reservoir on_Pease brook. accepted by ths court of common coun- cil Sept. 18th. In transmitting their report the water commissioners reported that the. mill owners would not entertain a proposition for water compensation as proposed by Hill, Quick & Allen, and the expensa of condemnation and dam. ages could not be estimated. They re- ported also that the Pease brook plan called for the submersion of four miles of highways in the town of: Lebanon. There exists on the watershed three cemeteries and a burial place for horses. / The reservoir would flow some 1.200 acres which muat be acquired at unknown prices. At the upper site proposed for a dam test pits failzd to reach a suitable foundation for a dam. 1t would require a dam 75 feet high and a quarter of a mile long In orde and only about ‘one-half of the water can be drawn off, as it would ba at too low a level. The estimated cost would be_3$655.000, exclusive of water rights. Thus far In developing the Pease brook project there had heen expanded about $4,000 for options on land and engineers. Stony Brook Adopted. On Nov. 4, 1901, the board of water commissioners again transmitted to the court of common coemeil a resolu- tion approving a reservoir at Stony brook. By the deciding vote of Mayor Thayer action upon same was deferred. At a _council meettng Dec. 2, 1901, Mayor Thayer addressed that body and ked to have a committee appointed to further Investigale the water question. Alderman Lillibridge and Councilmen Tathrop and Church wers appointed. They held several public hearings and by a majority vote recommended the estaplishment of & reservoir at Stony brook. This report was accepted by the council on Feb. 22d, and It was voied to issus the necessary bonds 1o carry out this plan, the same to be signed by Calvin L. Frisbie the sentor alderman, and the city treasurer. On March 3, 1902, Mayor Thayer re- auested the council to halt on the Stony brook project. as it would un- necessarily burden the city with debt. The couneil voted on the matter, but dld not change their determinatien to &0_to Stony brook.

The remaining water commis- ner has declared himself opposed to Pease brook. Judge Gardiner Green, in an opin- fon rendered Feb. 8, 1901. as corpora- tlon ‘counsel, gave as his opinion that the board of water commissioners can proceed to develop any water project without any further action in: eity mesting. it js Interesting to know whether thia condition still exists. Five engineers who have jnvestigat- ed the water problem of Norwich have without exception declared the Stony brook plan as feasibls and compara tively low in coat. The prinajpal ob- Jection to Pease brook schemd is the enormous debt that it will create, Only one engineer has declared in favor of that plan. and the reliabliity of hls @ata has been publicly questioned.
