Notes and Suggestions On the Croton Water Works, and Supply For the Future
The Croton Aqueduct is constructed of hydraulic cement masonry and lined inside with brick. The sketch on next page shows in section the general form, which is slightly varied in earth and rock tunnels. The maximum grade of the aqueduct is 1.1088 feet per mile with the following variations, viz.: at Croton dam, where for 5 miles the fall or grade is about 7 inches per mile; at High Bridge and Manhattan valley where the water is conducted across in pipes, and a slightly increased fall given to overcome friction, and from Manhattan valley to the reservoir in Central Park, a distance of 2 miles, where the grade is 9 inches to the mile.
