Report of Water ~ Gives Chance For Gampar n| Facts and Figures Relative to Jordan Brook, Stony Brook and Gardner Lake to be Submitted to City Meet- fng Friday Night—Three or More Propositions for Each Source ;—Advmtages and Idea of Cost of Water Rights Set Forth by Engineers. For the purpose of giving the citi- zens an vpportunity to 100k over and study the figures and conditions rela- tive to the increasing of the water sup- ply before assembling in the city meeting I'riday night, the date having been changed from Wednesday night, the ~eport of the engineers of the wa- ter board iz given below, having in addition to the report and figures on the Jordan brook proposition, figures regarding the other possibilities, Stony brook and Gardner lake. The report come from the board of water com- missioners for the purpose of inform- ing the citizens and giving them the opportunity of knowing the facts and figures, before the report is read at the city meeting, instead of trusting to the chance of the long report being heard, understood and remembered in the town hall long enough for the proper discussion of it. The report has been in course of preparation for some time, and is as follows: Report of Water Board. In order that the citizens may un- derstand the present situation regard- ing the extension of the water supply. the tcllowing facts and estimates are t hoard of water commis- rs compie its organization and officers July 1910. was on hand in Fairview reservoir at that time one hundred ninety million gallons of water out of the four hun- dred fifty millions which the full res- ervoir contains. This was one hundred ty-seven million gallons less than was on hand on the same day of the previous year, and twenty million gal- ions less than that on hand in any pre- ceding year at the same date since the reservoir was enlarged. At the highest point reached during the spring of 1910 the reservoir lacked one hundred forty-four million gallons of being full. On the 29th of July metors were in- stalled on each of the two sixteen inch pipes leadjng from the reservoir. and the daily use of water was found to be ahout two and one-tenth million gal- lons. In the light of these facts, the board were of the opinion that the time had come when it was their duty to take steps to procure an additional water supply. On the 5th day of August. within two weeks after its organization. the pres- ent board of water commissioners adopted Pease brook as source of additional supply. A large majority, at a largely attended city meeting held | Dee. 8. 1910, voted against anthorizing the appropriation of money for de oping Pease brook as a sourez of addi- tional water supply. At sald last named city meeting data were presented regarding the develop- ment of Gardner lake, Stony brook and J;:rdnn brook as sources of water sup- ply. A former board of water commis- sioners had adopted Stony brook as an additional source of supply, and their action had been disapproved by a largely attended city meeting. On the 19th day of December' the board adopted Jordan brook as a source of additional water supply.which action was approved by the court of common council Deec. 20th. Each Source Has Advantag The board of water commissioners are aware that no available source of water supply is better in every respect than every other source, and that each source is in some respect better than others. They believe that it is much battar for the city to adopt either than neither. They beligve that Jordan brook will anawer the ciéy’s needs for many years, and that there are excel- lent opportunities for adding other sources in the immediate vicinity of Jordan brook when necessary. Report on Jordan Brook. The report of the engineers on Jor- dan brook was as follows: To the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Norwich: At your have made pre- liminary surveys for estimating the ca- pacity and cost of Jordan brook as a source of additional water supply for the city of Norwich. This brook is a branch of Deep river. which further down is called the Jordan river runs a the Colchester turnp! n the tow non about one and one-half miles ly from the Harrison paper miil ook hae a clean watershed of three-quarters squara miie: extending from (toshen Hill to a gool dam site about a half mile northerly from the Colchester turnpike. The ground above the dam site is frea from deep mud and well suited for a reservoir. The bed of the brook at the dam site i= about three hundred and four (304) feet above mean tide, and aboit eightv-five (85) fect above the bottom of Fairview reservoir. A dam with its rollway thirty-four (34) feet above the bed of the brook would flow ninety (90) aeres and store three hundred t (330) maillion gal- {lone of water, the surface which wonld be ninety (90) feet above high water of Fairview reservoir. This watershed and storage would add twely thousand gallons «2) aily depend ipply. This yvield ca any ded extent by of adjacent tribut: or by taking water Daep river. A twenty inch pipe Is recommended in order to give capacity to take the waters of such adjacent watersheds when necessary. This pipe while new would dliver about four million gal- lons dally to our system. - {o our present be increased to 1ding the flow p rive ity from We estimate the cost of this addi- | the main pipe with one of the. sixteen tion to our supply. including land and | inch mains leading from Fairvew res- rights of wav but rights, at $290,000. All of which is respectfully submit- ted. CHANDLER & PALMER, Civil Engineers. Norwich, Dec. 19, 1910. excluding water In order that the relation of our present sources to anv additional sources may be plain, the following facts are given: Present and Additional Sources. Our present supply consists of 2.3 f watershed of which 1.55 M is at The wa n twenty-four inch pipe ing capacity under average ns of about five million gallons There is sufficient storage ca= daily. pac 1t Meadow brook to hold storm water until the pipe ca carry it to Fairview, so th> two watershe treated rview reservoi- is 430 mill lcne. The surfa of full reservoir 248 1-2 feet above mean tide. Pased on long comt'nusd ohsary ot the Sudbury suppiy of the Boston water works, the daily devendable ca- ity of our present works is 1,700,000 All estimates of capacity herein are made on the Sudbury basis. From Noy. 21 to the pressnt time & of | | i ¥ | 1‘ temaller on a small watershes large portion of the water used has come from Mohegan lake in accord- ance with an emergency agreement with the park commission. This lake igned for use as a water It has heen of inestimable value to the city in thls emergency, but its use as a feature of the park is inconsistent with its reguiar use as & part of our water supply. Cost of Pumping. A pumping station with two elactric pumps having a combined capacity of one million gallons in twenty-four hours has been installed on Trading cove brook and connected with our ripe system at the corner of West Main and Dunham sireets by six thou- sand seven hundred feet of twelve inch pipe. This station and equipment is designed to supply ihe deficiency in our water supply until a permanent addi- tion is obtained. The watershed of Trading cove brook at this point is nine squars miles. The size of the watershed and the popuia- tion near the brook and its branches | makes the danger of the water bheing | contaminated much greater than in the case of a small watershed like that of Jorddn brook, wherc there are no houses near the brook or its branches. The expense of preventing the exist- erce of sources of danger is much While it s fmpossible to determine | ini of water that will have to ‘tajned the coming from ding cove brook, and canseqgiien imyossible to tell what the expense will be iiis estimated at $8.250, based on pumining one rundred fitty million gal- lons, or $56 per million gallons. 1f s less amount is pumped the ex- rense will be greater per million gal- 1 nd if more is pumped the ex- @ will be less per million gallons Important Conditions to Be Considered The most important conditions to be considered in selecting a water supply are: 1. Quality of the water. 2. Safety of the water from acci- ntamination. ity of water available. 5. Cost. = 6. Capacity for future extenSion. 1. Quality and safety are considered separately, because stream 1may b the water of a » ordinarily of excellent be in constant dan- contaminaiion. eve the water of Jordan brook to be of excellent quality. Practically the whole valley is wooded. Cultivat- ed fields are substantially confined to the borders of the watershed. There ig very little swampy land. The water- shed on the whole for water supply purposes is better than the watersheds of either Fairview or Meadow brook. The absence of cultivated land and pasturing near the reservoir sits makes it superior to Fairview, and the very much smaller swamp area makes it better than Meadow brook. Safety. 2. Under the head of'safety the pro- posed Jordan brook reservoir site stands high. There are no houses, ex- cept near the margin of the watershed, to endanger the water. The estimate of $290,000 calls for acquring over five hundred acres of land, which would be kept free of everything dangerous. The comparatively smal] area of the water- shed makes adcquate protection easy. The location is one in which the pop- ulation is diminishing rather than in- creasing. Quantity Available. 3. The watershed is larger than that of Meadow brook and more than dou- ble that of Fairview. We believe the character of the watershed is such as to yield as much water in proportion to its area as our present watersheds. The amount available for our use in connection with our present supply de- pends on the slze of the pipe used and the size of the reservoir built. The size of pipe recommended is twenty inches. which with a small dam designed for simply diverting the flow of Jordan brook into Fairview reser- vodr would enable us to get about four millicn gallens daily in freshet times, | and in our opinion give us an average of half a miltion gallons daily through sar. If we huad had this amount to our reservoir the past ould have avoided the vers T ituntion which has existed. If a reservoir was built with a stor- age capacity of 100,000,000 gallons, we estimate that it would yield a depend~ able supply of 800,000 galions daily, and in connection with our present works would last until we were using 20 per cent. more water than now. If the large reservoir was built holding 330.000,000 gallons, the estimate is 1.- 200,000 gallons dependable daily supply and used in connection with our pres- ent works would last until we were using about 40 per cent. more water than now, or until we were supplying 40 per cent. more people than now. ‘When we need more water than the above amounts # can be obtained in the vieinity of Jordan brook. Elevation Most Favorabl 4. The elevation of Jordan brook fis{ one most favorable for the city use. more than 300 feet | A greater a disadvantage, be- would be too great t of the city. Thia| elevation enables the use of a smaller | pipe than would be reguired if the| brook were much lower. This eleva- | tion makes it possibie to harge Jor- | dan brook water brook or Fairview. The elevation of Jordan brook is such that a branch pipe could connect ctly into Meado\\"} ervoir. By the addition of some pipes | pipe would end at a point in the lake | about 1,000 feet from the shore of the 5. - cost. of the pi] ¢ hflvmflm nnrv-rr. ng. average of half a million gallons dafly is estimated at $185,000, excl 0 ‘water rights. . B ‘The cost of the one hundfed i gallon. reservoir, including pipe lina, giving a yield of 800,000 i1y, is estimated at $235,000, exclusive of water rights. A reasonable interest on this sum is abgut the same. as the probable annual expense of obfaining poorer water {rom Trading Cove broos by pumping. 3 ' o A reservoir holding 330 millions gal- lons and yielding 1,200,000 gallons dai- ly is estimated to cost with pipe line $280,000, exclusive of water rights. Regarding water rights it may be said that the mill owners are not dam- aged while the water runs over their dams. Kf(Durhw the dryest part of the year the flow of the brook would be Srould e Small e princinal damags woul 5 e princ! mags to the mill owners i3 corfined to those days when the flow of the streams is muderate. The area of the watershed to be di- verted is one and three-quarter square miles, and the average watershed of the principal mill privileges is about 90 square miles. This makes the ap- parent diversion about 2 per cent. while the real diversion would be less. Special Advantages. 6. Among the specis advantages that Jordan brook possesses, as an additional supply for the city of Nor- wich, is the fact that it will provide for our neads at a moderate costin the first instance and is capable of addi- tional development to keep.pace with the increased use of water. At 4 per cent. the difference between $185,000 and $235,000 is $2,000 annual- ly, which for ten years is 320,000, and the interest on the difference between $225,000 and $290,000 for ten years is $22,000, a total saving the ual extension plan of $42.000, plus inter- est on intereat. If we tnén need an extension of the works we can add other watersieds, t.ilking the water through the game pipe line. 5 Under the charter is appears that the formal question is on the author- ization of money to be expended on Jordan brook. Whether this authoriza- tion should be madé or not depends things considersd th peobple think Jordan brook is the best source. To aild in this decision facts and estimates regarding other sources have been made as follows: Gardner Lake. This is a natural lake with storage increased by the erection of a dam and the lowering of the outlet chan- nel. The surface of the lake is shown on the government topoghaphic maps to be 270 feet above mean tide. The difference in level between roll- way of the dam and the ice as it stood in the lake December 21, 1910, with the gates wide open, is five and one- half feet. If the ditch were properly cleaned the water could be drawn two feet lower. The drainage area of the lake as surveyed by John T. Fanning is about five square miles. ‘With the ditch ag it now ls, the lake has an avaflable capacity of eight hun- dred and fitty million galons, with which this source could be depended on for a daily continuous supply of 2,- 900,000 galions. It the ditch were cleaned so as to draw seven and one-half feet, the daily dependable eupply would be increasad to 3,400,000 galions. If a pipe were | extenaed into the lake so as to be able to draw the lake 11 1-2 feet below high water, the dependable daily supply would be 3,700,000 gallons. The watershed has but few houses upon it near the lake. There are a few cottages used fn summer only, and there are several camps used in vaca- tien time by several hundred men and boys. There is much bathing, boating and fishing in summer. We have estimated the cost of de- veloping a waier supply in several ways. A. By running a pipe from our pres- ent system to and through the exist- ing dam, terminating in a gute house and screen chamber, and erecting a permanent dam across the present channel at such a height w3 would in- sure the city the use of such amount of water as they wish to acquire the right to take. This wculd enable mill owners to draw water until the surface of the lake was drawn down to the level of said permanent dam, leaving the bal- ance of the water for the city’s use. In this arrangement the city's use should be limited to a specified num- ber of gallons dally by purchase or condemnation. ‘We estimate the cost of this devel- opment, exclsive of water rights, at $194,000. B. If it were desirable to obtain the right to take all the water now avail- able to the mill owners with the ditch cleaned, the expense, exclosive of wa- ter rights, is estimated at $202,000. C. If it was decided to be desirable to.place the pipe 111-2 feet below the top of dam, so as to increase the stor. age capacity and yield of ilic lake, the pond as it was Dec. 21, 1910. Our estimate of the cost, excluding water rights, is $235,000.. The right te draw the water should be fixed by bargain or condemnationr as the right to draw a specific number of gallons daily, and this should be as- sured by a suitable dam. Stony Brook. This stream is situated in the town of Montville between Trading Cove brook val'ey on the north and the Ox- oboxo valley on the south and Gardner lake on the west. Its watershed {s2.3 =quare miles, which is equal to that of Fairview and Meadow ®Brook combin- On this stream at a point where the watersiied is 11-2 square miles about 3.500 reet above the main dam site is a BT mill and dam storing about 20.000,000 gallons of water, owned by the city of Norwich, There are only three houses on the watershed except | on its extreife margin, and one of these houses would naturaily be ac- quired by the city, if this souvce were adopted. The elevation ef the brook at the dam site, where the watershed is £.% sguare miles, is 240 feet above | mean tide. 'The elevation of the grist mill pond is 290 above mean tire, or about 40 feet above Fairview reservoir. There are several ways that this sourcc_can be develaned. By a 24 inch pipe leading to the main dam site and small diversion and gates a part of the Jordan brook water could be used for a high service COST AND CAPACITY O In order that the éstimates of cost developing supplies from different the following summary is given: g2 3 =2 =® e Source.
