On the Measures for Restricting the Use and Waste of Water, in force in the City of Rochester, N.Y.
In a paper “On the Hydraulics of the Hemlock Lake Conduit of the Rochester, N. Y., Water-Works,” the author has indicated that the present population of Rochester, as per census of 1890, is 133 896, and that the daily delivery of water from Hemlock Lake is now only a little over 6 700 000 gallons, instead of 9 292 800, as originally published. Ever since 1888 the question of constructing additional works has been actively discussed by the municipal authorities; but a feeling of distrust on the part of many citizens as to the immediate necessity for additional works has thus far engendered an opposition sufficiently strong to prevent, until recently, the project assuming tangible form; and it has therefore become necessary to make the most economical use of the present limited supply. The measures adopted last year for curtailing waste and preventing unnecessary use will be briefly described.
