NEW YORK WATER SUPPLY. NEW YORK CITY has grown so rapidly in the past ten years that the water system, which ric first planned was considered ample for many years, has been taxed to its limit, and there is at par an urgent need for the new system, which is being built, for bringing the water from the Cas. Mountains. The city consumes every day about 550,000,000 gallons of water, and, aseT DI population of 5,500,000, then every man, woman and child uses nearly 100 gallons a day. The S Catskill Aqueduct will have a capacity of 500,000,000 gallons a day, and the largest reservoir system (the Ashokan), once filled, could supply the city for eight months at the present rate of sumption, without any water flowing into it. THE PRESENT SYSTEM. The water supply of the city of New York is divided by boroughs, those of Manhattan i Bronx being taken together, as they are practically supplied from the same sources. In the oughs of Manhattan and Bronx the supply is by means of gravity, the water being pumped higher parts of the boroughs. In the lower part of Manhattan and certain business distrets Brooklyn an independent system, known as the high pressure fire service, is used exclusive fire protection purposes. The high pressure fire service system is connected up with the rec. distribution mains; in case of emergency provision has been made so that salt water can be as DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. The Boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx are supplied from both the Croton and the B and Byram watersheds. The Croton covers an area of 360 square miles, and from various reser water is brought through more than 30 miles of masonry conduit to distributing reservoirs A boroughs. The Bronx and Byram watershed covers about 22 square miles. In Manhattan, Croton water is used entirely, but in the Bronx about one-half the popular 1s supplied with Croton water, the other half being supplied from the Bronx and Byram Rivers. A proximately 350,000,000 gallons are used every day in Manhattan and the Bronx. In Brooklyn about 80 per cent. of the water comes from wells, and the remainder from sma streams, the watersheds having an area of nearly 170 square miles. All the water is pumped about 150,000,000 gallons are consumed dally from municipal and private sources. Flatbush an Borough Park are supplied by private companies from wells. The city supplies only the first and third wards in the Borough of Queens, while the other wards are supplied by private companies. The water is taken from wells and the consu averages 34,000,000 gallons daily. In Richmond, the city owns the wells which furnish about 11.500.000 gallons daily. HIGH PRESSURE FIRE SERVICE SYSTEM. The high pressure fire service system in Manhattan is bounded by Twenty-third Street. Irvi Place, Fourteenth Street, Third Avenue, Bowery, Houston Street, East River, Battery and Nort River, and covers an area of 4.8 square miles. There are two pumping stations, one located at Gansevoort and West Streets, and the eye at Oliver and South Streets. Each station has six electrically driven centrifugal pumps that are connected to the Croton Supply (see above), the Gansevoort and West Street station beltz im connected to the North River, and the Oliver and South Street station to the Fast Re Thus, either fresh or salt water may be used, the latter, however, only being used in emergen Each pump can deliver 3,000 gallons a minute against a head of 300 pounds at the station. 1:|:ཀྱི ང ས 1:|: bined capacity of the two stations is equal to about 50 fire engines delivering two good sin streams. The pumping stations respond to every alarm with a pressure of 125 pounds per squareCA The distributing system consists of 108 miles of mains, 8 to 24 inches in diameter, and abou 2,372 four-nozzle hydrants and the necessary valves. The pressure at any point can be increased or decreased by telephoning to the pumping stati For this purpose there are approximately 315 telephone boxes, besides telephones communioux with the Fire Headquarters and with the main and subsidiary stations of the New York EISE Company. The present system cost about $6,100,000 for stations, land, mains and appurtenances. The system has been extended to the Battery, and contracts for future extensions are in force. In Brooklyn there are two high pressure fire service systems, one protecting the business and manufacturing districts, and the other the amusement section of Coney Island." The one for the business and manufacturing districts is bounded by the upper New York Bay Hudson Avenue, Tillary Street, St. Edward's Street, St. Felix Street, Fort Greene Place, Fifth Ave nue, Twenty-fourth Street, Thirty-ninth Street to the water front, and covers an area of 4.8 square miles. The supply is furnished by two stations, the main one being located at the foot of Joralent Street, and the reserve one at Willoughby and St. Edward's Streets. Both draw their supply from the Ridgewood mains, the main station being also connected to the East River. The pumps are electrically operated in both stations, and have a combined rated capacity of 24,000 gallons per minute against a pressure of 300 pounds per square inch. The distributing system consists of about 34 miles of mains, 8 to 20 inches in diameter, with the usual hydrants. The Coney Island high pressure system protects an area of 470 acres. The pumping stat. is located at West Twelfth Street and Coney Island Creek. Gas engines driving pumps Installed, the total capacity being 4,500 gallons per minute pumping against a pressure of 150 pounds per square inch. The water is distributed through 6 miles of mains, 8 to 16 inches diameter, having hydrants where necessary. THE CATSKILL MOUNTAIN SYSTEM. The new water supply system, which is nearing completion, consists of the building of the fol lowing reservoirs, viz.: Ashokan for Impounding the water, Kensico for storage, Hill View for equa izing and distributing, and the Silver Lake for distributing and serving as a terminal reservoir, a besides these reservoirs the Catskill Aqueduct for conveying the water. In New York City the sy tem will be Inter-connected with existing works, and no changes need be made in the present te Ines. However, the city pumping plants in Manhattan, having a capacity of 75,000,000 gallons dally, in Brooklyn 25,000,000, and the various private plants of 30,000,000, may at any time be de pensed with, as the water brought by the new system will have sufficient pressure to reach the tweetieth floor of a building situated at tide level. ASHOKAN RESERVOIR. The main supply will be impounded or collected in the Ashokan Reservoir, which is 13 miles west of Kingston, N. Y., from Its tributary watersheds, the Esopus, now being developed, 255 square miles in extent, with the Schoharie, 228 square miles, and the Catskill Creek, 163 square m available for development in the future. The reservoir, formed by the building of the Olive Bridge Dam and a number of dikes, is approximately 12 miles long by one mile wide, with a maxim depth of 190 feet. When full, the surface of the water is 590 feet above sea level. The Impounding of water was begun in September, 1913. CATSKILL AQUEDUCT. Leading from the Ashokan Reservoir is the Catskill Aqueduct, into which, through future development, may also empty the Lackawack Reservoir (supplied by the Rondout watershed, having an area of 131 square miles), the aqueduct bringing the water to Storm King, four miles above West Point,,then under the Hudson River in a tunnel to Breakneck Mountain, from Breakneck Mountain to Kensico Reservoir, and from the latter to Hill View Reservoir in Yonkers, just north of the city line. The type of construction depends entirely on the nature of the country the aqueduct crosses. Wherever possible it is built in the open, that is in cut and cover, but in many cases tunnels and siphons are required. The cut and cover portion is of concrete, having a horseshoe shaped cross section, 17 feet high and 17 feet 6 inches wide, with the flat part resting on the ground. The dimensions of the tunnels range from approximately those just given to a circular section 14 feet 6 inches in diameter. The entire waterway is concrete lined. The most difficult tunnel to bore was the one under the Hudson River between Storm King and Breakneck Mountains. Here it was necessary to cut through solid rock at a distance 1,100 feet below the surface of the river. From Breakneck Mountain to Kensico Reservoir (east of Tarrytown, N. Y.) cut and cover construction, with an occasional tunnel or siphon, is followed; similarly the Kensico Reservoir is connected to the Hill View Reservoir, and from the latter is the tunnel for supplying New York. The Catskill Aqueduct from the Ashokan reservoir to the city line at Yonkers is about 92 miles long. 55 miles being cut and cover, 31 miles tunnels and 6 miles of steel pipes. CITY TUNNEL OF CATSKILL AQUEDUCT. The tunnel from Hill View Reservoir will pass under the Borough of Bronx, the Harlem River. the Borough of Manhattan, the East River and terminate in Brooklyn, a distance of 18 milesAt the Brooklyn terminal pipes will extend to Queens and to Richmond, the pipes to the latter being of cast iron, crossing the Narrows and discharging into an equalizing reservoir at Silver Lake, 225 feet above sea level. The tunnel will be circular in section, reducing from 15 feet to 11 feet in diameter, lined with concrete, and varying from 200 to 750 feet deep in solid rock. It will thus pass far below all subways and building foundations. About every 4,000 feet connections will be made to the present distributing system, through controlling valves set to furnish the water at any lower pressure than that In the tunnel, which existing conditions may require. The tunnel will deliver 500,000,000 gallons daily, the water rising at the Brooklyn end to nearly 240 feet above tide water, a height sufficient to supply without pumping the highest sections of the borough. The estimated cost of the tunnel and pipes within the city and the reservoir on Staten Island is $25,000,000. The total cost of the entire system as projected, including the development of four large Catskill Mountain watersheds, as needed by the growth of the city of New York, the necessary reservoirs, Catskill Aqueduct and all appurtenances, will be about $176,000,000. It is estimated that the work now under contract will be completed in 1915. Up to October 1, 1914, about $99,400,000 worth of contracts had been awarded, the waterway completed to the city line and about 96 per cent. completed to Staten Island, while about 90 per cent. of the contract work of the present development is done.
