Congress had appropriated half a million dollars for the project and a joint committee was convened to investigate the allocation of funds and other matters related to the extension of the water supply for Washington D.C. In the context of this review and the broader evolution of the city's water supply, the author presents an insightful narrative that incorporates the viewpoints of Major Garrett J.
