Springwood Water Supply

PUMPING FROM LINDEN CREEK

ESTIMATE PREPARED.

Hon. J. C. L. Fitzpatrick, M.L.A.,

Line 2.1.0has received the following communica-
Line 2.1.1tion from the Under-Secretary Public
Line 2.1.2Works Department:-

Line 2.2.0Adverting to previous correspondence
Line 2.2.1regarding the proposed scheme of
Line 2.2.2water supply for Springwood, I have
Line 2.2.3now to inform you that a survey has
Line 2.2.4been made and an estimate prepared
Line 2.2.5for supplying Springwood with water
Line 2.2.6by pumping from Linden Creek.

Line 2.3.0The present population of Spring-
Line 2.3.1wood is computed to be about 1,200.
Line 2.3.2In view of the numerous visitors in
Line 2.3.3the summer, provision has been made
Line 2.3.4for a population of 3000. The source
Line 2.3.5of supply would be a storage reservoir
Line 2.3.6formed by the construction of a dam
Line 2.3.7in Linden Creek, at a point about 2½
Line 2.3.8miles distant, in a direct line from
Line 2.3.9Springwood Railway Station. The
Line 2.3.10area of the catchment is about 5½ sq.
Line 2.3.11miles, and the capacity of the storage
Line 2.3.12about 120 million gallons, with a max-
Line 2.3.13imum depth of water of 53ft. The dam
Line 2.3.14would be constructed of concrete curv-
Line 2.3.15ed in plan. From the storage reservoir
Line 2.3.16the water would flow in a suction main

to a pumping station a short distance

downstream of the dam. The machin-

Line 2.6.0ery would consist of suction gas en-
Line 2.6.1gines driving two sets of centrifugal
Line 2.6.2pumps. The capacity of the two when
Line 2.6.3working together would be 15.000 gall-
Line 2.6.4ons per hour. Thus with two sets
Line 2.6.5working 8 hours per day, 6 days per
Line 2.6.6week a volume of water would be sup-
Line 2.6.7plied sufficient for a population of
Line 2.6.82,060 with 50 gallons per head per day.
Line 2.6.9Should the consumption in summer be-
Line 2.6.10come larger than this volume the de-
Line 2.6.11mand could be met by pumping for a
Line 2.6.12daily period of more than 1 shift. The
Line 2.6.13water would be pumped through a
Line 2.6.14raising main of cast iron pipes 8 inches
Line 2.6.15diameter and 1 mile long to a service
Line 2.6.16reservoir having a capacity of 200,000
Line 2.6.17gallons and constructed of reinforced
Line 2.6.18concrete 0n the high land near
Line 2.6.19Fix this textFaulconbridge. From the reservoir
Line 2.6.20the water would flow in a gravitation
Line 2.6.21main to the reticulation of the town.

Line 2.7.0The service main and reticulation
Line 2.7.1will comprise the following cast-iron
Line 2.7.2pipes: 8in. diameter x 235 chains, 6in.
Line 2.7.3x 114 chains, 4in. x 190 chains, 3in. x
Line 2.7.411 chains; total, 550 chains (nearly 7
Line 2.7.5miles).
