Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discussion of the Drainage and Water Supply of Chicago The writer confesses to having been one of those who voted for the adoption of the Drainage Act. He understood that it was approved by the Citizens' Association, who claimed to have investigated the subject - something must be done - the method formulated by the Drainage Act was declared to be the best, and, indeed, the only attainable solution of the drainage question, and there seemed virtually no alternative. Vague suspicions arose in the minds of many, after the adoption of the act, and the election of drainage trustees, that the proceeding was ill-advised, and it was hoped that the Supreme Court would declare the act invalid. In this, they were disappointed. The attention of the writer was first drawn to the matter, by the suggestion as to the vast amount of damages which the city would have to pay annually, for flooding the bottom lands of the Illinois River Valley. It requires no very great experience as a lawyer to understand the danger, not only of having to pay large amounts for damages actually sustained, but of a larger amount, which would be recovered on trumped-up claims, but which local juries would most assuredly find against the city, and it was this apprehension, that led to this investigation. If the city could have settled the entire matter, once for all, by building the channel at an expenditure of the fifteen million of dollars ($15,000,000) provided for in the Drainage Act, while there would have been the conviction that there might be a cheaper way, it is hardly probable that this attempt to investigate the subject would have been made. Without any previous study of the drainage question, or of the various methods by which sewage may be disposed of, and with only the vague reports made by the engineers as a basis, the outlook for a comprehensive survey of the matter was rather formidable, but no one else seemed disposed to do it, and as it was something which ought to be done, the following attempt was made - with what success the reader must judge. The work; was entered upon without any prepossession for or against any man, and if any disapprobation appears in these pages toward any person or persons, such disapprobation arose from the facts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee of the Citizens' Association on the Main Drainage and Water Supply of Chicago: September, 1885 To the Executive Committee of the Citizens Association: The undersigned committee appointed for the purpose of investigating the subject of Main Drainage and Water Supply of Chicago, begs leave to submit the following report: A problem of the first magnitude is presented in the main drainage of a city of 700,000 inhabitants with the immediate prospect of a population of 1,000,000, and a growth of 2,000,000 within the life-time of citizens who knew Chicago as an Indian trading-post. That the city should have attained this growth without the development of an adequate official plan, for a permanent system of main drainage would be startling in this day of sanitary science, were it evident that the conditions of the problem had ever been properly apprehended. The sanitary history of Chicago is a history of makeshifts and expedients, in which official prevision has scarcely ventured beyond corporate limits to the consideration of the drainage basin of which the municipal area is but a small fraction. Even those expedients which, while involving a moderate expenditure for the relief of the present situation, might still be in harmony with a general plan, seem to be inadequately realized, or quite misapprehended. Chicago, in regard to her water supply and main drainage, is perhaps, more fortunately situated than any other of the principal cities of the country, except those on our large, rapidly-flowing rivers, which carry away the sewage at once, a condition which may here be readily duplicated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Water Supply" And "Drainage" Systematised and Simplified This small volume is in reality a supplement to the author's The Precise Calculation of Pipe Drain and Sewer Dimensions, ' but can, if so desired, be used without any reference thereto the help of many error-saving Tables, which find a place in the original work, being however in such case not available. It illustrates how the preparation of a project for either Water Supply' or Drainage can be systematised and simplified by a consideration of the hydraulic gradients' of the entire system and by their employment in ascertaining precisely from the parent work and the Tables therein, or very approximately from the two Scales in the present work, the dimensions of the pipes, drains or sewers needed for the particular scheme under consideration. As these dimensions can in either case be ascertained for any reasonable slope in the water surface and practically any required discharge by simple multiplication and a con sideration of the Tables or Scales, this work should be a special help to small corporations, colonists, planters, estate agents, and all who cannot afford or obtain other professional advice and assistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universal Metering of Chicago's Water Supply: The Need for It, What It Would Accomplish The need for adopting and carrying into effect a policy of universal metering is recognized by practically every one who has given thought to the question. The following are the main points urged in support of such a policy: The Chicago Water Works is pumping an average of 260 gallons of water daily for every man, woman, and child in the city. This is about twice as much water per person as most other American cities find ample to supply their requirements. Cleveland and Milwaukee, lake cities where conditions of supply and distribution are similar to those in Chicago, and where universal metering prevails, have a daily pumpage of less than 125 gallons per person. And their service is much better than ours. Not more than half the water pumped in Chicago is ever really used. The other half is lost through waste and leakage. This loss is due to leaks in the pumps, in the mains and service pipes, and in house plumbing. It is due also in some cases to either careless or wilful waste on the part of consumers. Meters are proposed as a means of locating and checking so far as practicable this loss of water which is of no use to any one. They are not intended to discourage the use of water in abundance, and experience in other cities shows that they do not in fact discourage such use. Any one can go to Lake Michigan and take as much water as he likes. The business and the problem of the Chicago Water Works is to transport water from the lake to the premises of consumers and to deliver it under sufficient pressure to enable users, including those living upon upper floors, to get it whenever they need it.
