Department Of The Interior and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Supply, City of San Francisco: Application for Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy Valley Reservoir Sites, Act of February 15, 1901 This is the so-called revocable permit act, under which rights of way for electrical plants, transmission lines, canals, ditches, and reservoirs are permitted through the public lands and forest reserva tions of the United States. The only national parks to which it applies are the Yosemite, Sequoia, and General Grant National Parks, in the State of California. The act was passed on February 15, 1901. On October 15, 1901, the city of San Francisco, through the Hon. James D. Phelan, then mayor, filed an application for reservoir rights of way at Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy. After considera tion of this application, Hon. E. A. Hitchcock, then Secretary of the Interior, on December 22, 1903, refused the permit on the principal ground that he did not have the necessary statutory authority. He discussed the existing and available water supplies of the city of San Francisco, and upon the information then before him, held that there were other adequate sources of supply available; but the con trolling consideration for his refusal of the permit was the construe tion placed by him upon the two acts of Congress above mentioned. The city continued its efforts to Obtain the permit, but on February 5, 1905, Secretary Hitchcock again reached the conclusion that the permit could not be granted without further legislation by Con gress. The application was again renewed by the city before Sec retary Hitchcock's successor, Hon. James R. Garfield, and on Mav 11, 1908, Secretary Garfield granted the permit which is now in force. This permit provided that the city might develop the Lake Eleanor reservoir site and that if this site when developed to its full capacity should not prove adequate for the needs of the city the Hetch Hetchy Valley could then be used as a reservoir. The permit is set out in full in the report of the Advisory Board of Army Engineers made on February 19, 1913, and contains other important provisions, which need not be referred to at this time.

It supplies about 5,600,000 people with water for domestic and business uses and for fire protection, and in so doing operates and maintains the greatest municipal water supply system in the world, of an estimated cost of $341,500,000. 2. It is responsible for the quality of the water, whether supplied by the city or by private water companies. 3. It operates through electrically driven pumps the high pressure fire service in Manhattan and Brooklyn and through gas driven pumps that are at Coney Island. 4. It collects the water revenue, amounting to about $15,000,000 per annum. 5. In conjunction with the Board of Aldermen it fixes the rates at which water supplied by the city shall be sold. 6. It tests water meters. It may require their installation in places where water is supplied for business purposes and it inspects and reads some 108,000 at regular intervals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catskill Water Supply of New York City: History, Location, Sub-Surface Investigations and Construction To present the matter in reliable and readable form so as to give in the compass of a work not too long an adequate idea of the history, location, design, and construction of the work for the Catskill water supply is the aim of the author. If this be not accomplished, he alone is responsible, for no better opportunity could be wished for; having had direct contact by being con nected with the work from almost its inception to its present nearly completed stage. The author was in charge of the loca tion and construction of a most varied and difficult stretch at the upper end, and later of 9 miles of deep pressure tunnel at the lower end. He has enjoyed the cooperation of the other engineers in active charge with many sources of information open by the generosity of the Chief Engineer and the contractors. Lastly, and indispensable, was the generous treatment of the publisher, Messrs. John Wiley Sons, Inc., who have stinted in no way and helped in every way to make the book useful and desirable.
