ENGINEER'S REPORT, RE: RESERVOIR.
The report of City Engineer Sadler concerning re-
pairs and the condition of the:cityr:reservoirs, visa presented and road, as follows:
Port Townsend, Wash., August 24, 1932.
To the Mayorvand City Council,
Port Townsend, Wash.
Gentlemen: -
Attached to this letter is a requisition for material necessary to stop leakage
in reservoirs #1 and q{2. There are also vouchers covering labor and material on same.
This leakage I find was due to the following causes:
No. 1. That the expansion joints had been poured while the concrete was still green
and damp, due to condition of weather during time of work. Owing to this conditim there
was no bond between concrete and asphalt. In some places where the asphalt had been pours(
hot it formed bubbles or blisters and upward pressure caused by these leaks and leakage
from Reservoir #2 caused several blow outs.
No. 2. There is also considerable leakage from seams in the top of reservoir #2. These
can be easily fixed by coating same wdth asphalt. These seams were opened when sides of
reservoir was exposed to the hot Sun when the reservoir has been drained at different time
necessary on account of work on #1 reservoir and connections between #1 and #2.
No. 3. 'There is also a considerable leak near the bottom in the Northeast corner of
reservoir #2. This leak has been giving trouble for some time and I would recommend that
this be fixed by cutting out the old concrete and replacing same with new material when th
reservoir is drained. :,:aterial has been provided for this erork with the exception of a
little gravel.
The cast iron inlet and outlet under reservoir #1 has been tested by plugging the out-
let of each separately and putt&ng on the pressure available and heaving it on for not les
than three days. After which time there visa no evidence of leakage in either pipe.
All -expansion joints that showed signs of blow outs or showed any signs of weakness
from any cause, have been cleaned out and sealed with cement; grout and then filled with
asphalt. The leakage at nc time was serious enough to cause any alarm but might have bee
worse the longer it visa let go. 'Therefore, I thought it would be cheaper to do the work a
this time and, after speaking to the Mayor and Councilmen Lammers, Lafferty and Smith, pro
seeded with the work.
Itemized cost of work is as follows:
Material, Reservoir #1: Asphalt $$10.79 Cement 4.06
Sand .75 Labor 81.50 Total ..... $97.10
aterial for reservoir #2....... 13.58
Of the above labor account, >;35.25 was worked out by delinquent crater patrons. Trustin
that this meets with your approval, Yours very truly, 71. J. Sadler, City Engines
