The Water-works of Syracuse, N. Y.
On June 21st, 1888, the Hon. Wm. B. Kirk, Mayor of the city of Syracuse, N. Y., appointed a commission to select the best available source for furnishing an abundant supply of water for public, mechanical and domestic uses. At that time a small portion of the city was supplied with water from Onondaga Creek by the Syracuse Water Company, and with spring water by parties who sold it by the gallon, delivering it in bottles and from tanks. Rain water was collected on roofs and stored in cisterns for laundry and other purposes.
