Download or read book Universal Metering of Chicago's Water Supply written by Chicago Bureau of Public Efficiency and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 26 pages. 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 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 sup ply their requirements. Cleveland and Milwaukee, lake cities where conditions of supply and distribution are similar to those in Chicago, and where universal meter ing prevails, have a daily pumpage of less than 125 gal lons 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.

Book Synopsis A Discussion of the Drainage and Water Supply of Chicago (Classic Reprint) by : D. W. Jackson

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
