'Report on Distribution System:
'The city engineer's report on the proposed Distribution System of the water works,
together with estimate of the repairs for reservoir No. 1 on Morgan's Hill, was presented and read,
ad follows:
December 24, 1929
To the Mayor and City Council
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit estimates on proposed distribution system for the city of Port Town-
send together with an estimate of the repairs for reservoir $1 6A Morgans Hill. The estimates are
made up on the basis off -a floating system also on a single line to Reservoir as at present.
The floating system I think is best suited to the needs of a growing city. The ad-
vantage in. the floating system is that the water is fed direct to the services from the mains and
that all the surplus over and above the actual consumption goes into the Reservoirs. The Reservoirs
act as an equalizer to the system and at all times assures ample storage for emergencies. Also
while one loop might be shut off the other would be discharging water into the Reservoir and this
way could be used to supply water through that portion of the loop not* affected by the shut down.
As much as possible to do. so all dead ends would be eliminated and with a suitable number of valves
it would mean that the minimum number of patrons would not be inconvenienced by a shut down.
In the present system when it is necessary to make repairs, a large portion of the
City is deprived of water for several hours owing to the lack of valves and cross connections. I
have also made provisions for installing new Fire Hydrants on hater Street, also one in the business
section on the hill. The present hydrants that are to be replaced with new ones can be overhauled
and placed in the districts that are being built up now in various parts of the City and at the
present time are without adequate fire protection. The estimates are as follows:
ESTIMATE # 1: To be known as LOOP SYSTEM #1
A 16" C.I. pipe from the City Limits to the intersection of the 'vest Line of the
Eisenbeis Addition and 9th Street, East on 9th Street to Sheridan Street, at 9th and Sheridan a 6"
connection is made for a 6" line which will run south on Sheridan to 7th Street, East on 7th to
Cleveland and South on gleveland to join the present new 4" line that runs South on Cleveland to
3rd and west on 3rd to Hancock Street: One of the Fire Hydrants removed from eater Street could be
used here as there are a number of new houses without any fire protection except the house service.
Going back again to the intersection of 9th and Sheridan Streets the 17" Cast Iron
lines runs North to 19th Street, from 19th Street North on Sheridan, a 12" Ci}i•a Pipe runs to Hastings

on ban Juan avenue to "U" Street, then 'last on "U" Street to "alnut Street, Southwesterly on ~'Walnut
to Root Street, where it connects with a 16" C. I. Pipe connection to the ii6servoirs.
An 8" 600d Pipe line from the intersection of Discovery Road and San Juan Avenue runs
Southeasterly along "F" Street to Tyler Street then Southerly on Tyler Street to Lawrence Street. At
the intersection of Sheridan and 19th Street a 12" C.I. Pipe Line runs 'asterly on 19th to Blaine and
Kearney Streets, South on Kearney to 'later Street, zasterly on "ater Street to Monroe, Northerly on

and 'lest on Cosgrove to Taylor Street, South on Taylor Street to Jefferson, East on Jefferson to
