Excerpt from Report on the Quebec Water Works
I have the honor herewith to submit my report on the various and best modes by which a greater supply of water could be obtained through the present line of pipes - as directed in your letter of instructions of 21st February last. I was also then requested to report on the practicability of a scheme which was lately proposed by a certain Gentleman, and adopted by the City Council, which scheme, although it had been in operation since the 20th of January, had not turned out to be altogether satisfactory. The scheme alluded to had been abandoned previous to my arrival in Quebec-but as there had been some complaint made against the summary removal of the machinery by which it' was attempted, I may still be expected to refer to it.'

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, part of the broader discussion of municipal waterworks in the mid-19th century, is a thorough analysis of the Quebec waterworks system, around a decade after its 1848 opening. The author travelled to the city in 1860 to spend time with the works, scrutinizing every aspect of its function from pipe dimensions to pressure at various city points. The author discovered that this city's water infrastructure was, for its time, quite advanced, yet it was also not delivering on its promise of indoor plumbing for all residents due to excessive water waste. The author discusses means of encouraging responsible water consumption so that the city could benefit from its significant investment in clean drinking water infrastructure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332861644_0
