Pains have been taken to make the information herein tabulated as accurate as possible. The method employed in collecting it may be de- scribed briefly. The first step was to send out the following circular letter to all cities, towns and villages in the Dominion: "The Commission of Conservation is collecting information respecting water supply in Canada and is desirous of enlisting your aid in the work. Will you kindly send a description of the water supply of your town or city, including therein full information along the lines suggested by the questions below? Your thorough familiarity with your plant will doubtless enable you to furnish us with many interesting details that cannot be covered by a set of arbitrary questions such as is here appended. (1) Name of city or town (2) Population (3) Is plant privately or municipally owned? If the former, kindly state name of company (4) Source of supply whether taken from lake, river or springs Give distance of source of supply from centre of distribution (5) Method of supply whether by gravity or direct pressure If pumping is used, state (a) Maximum and average h.p. used (b) Kind of power (steam, electric, etc.) (c) If pumped to reservoir, stand-pipe, tank or directly into mains (6) Cost of supply plant (7) Cost of distribution system (8) Name and official capacity of officer in charge t COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION (9) Mains: (a) Lengths in miles (b) Kind of material in pipe (c) Sizes and lengths of each kind (10) Number of hydrants (11) Daily consumption in imperial gallons. (12^Ordinary pressure in pounds (13>:jre pressu^el'1 U (14} ^Annual .cwst of. maintenance of Services and kind of pipe used for same (16) Number of consumers (17) Annual revenue from consumers (18) Annual revenue from public uses (19) Is water supplied on flat or meter rate? What are charges for each? (20) If reservoirs are used, state (a) Number (b) Sizes (21) Is any part of your plant duplicated for use in case of accident or em- ergency? If so, state which parts (22) Year in which plant began operations? (23) Do you use a filter plant? If so, what kind? Are results satisfactory? " Answers to this letter were all very intelligible and complete; but, un- fortunately, they came in very slowly, necessitating the sending of several reminders to the tardy municipalities. This, of course, took some time; but a very complete set of answers was finally obtained. However, as such a long period of time had elapsed between the sending out of the circular letter and the receipt of the last answers, it was feared that some of the information first obtained had become out of date. In order to remedy this a second circular letter was despatched; but, in order to facilitate matters, a synopsis of the information previously obtained was sent to the officer in charge of the different water-works, asking him to revise, correct and bring it up to date. To further expedite matters, personal visits were paid to some of the delin- quent towns by the Hydro-Electric Engineer of the Commission, and the deficient information was obtained directly. The information thus obtained has been arranged in a concise and con- venient form, and it is hoped that it will prove valuable to those interested WATER-WORKS OF CANADA 3 in water-supply generally, and that it will also help those directly connected with water-works systems to become acquainted with conditions relating to other plants than their own. Immediately following will be found charts and tables summarizing the information in the body of the work and emphasizing points of special in- terest, such as growth of the number of water-supply systems, sources of supply, rates, consumption, etc. EXPLANATORY The information relating to each water-works is given under the name of the city, town or village, these being arranged alphabetically under each province while the provinces are arranged geographically from east to west. The'population served, as estimated by the municipality concerned, is given in parentheses following directly the name of the county in which the municipality is situated. In a few cases, the population given does not agree with recent census figures, this being due to the fact that sometimes the water-works system extends beyond the municipal limits, while, in other cases, it does not include the whole of the municipality. Under "rates," the figures given for "bath-room" include both bath and water closet. The figures for flat rate for dwelling or family include the charge for bath-room service, except where a rate is given for "bath-room separately. Unless otherwise stated, the yearly flat rate charges are given. The "consumption" is given in imperial gallons per day. Wherever it was possible, the total cost or value of the plant has been separated into " supply plant "and " distribution system." The former includes all material, etc except the street mains, while the latter includes street-mains, hydrants and accessory material. In many instances, however, the officer in charge was unable to give these separately and in such cases the figures for the wh< plants are given. COMMISSION OF CONSERVATION d, ? 1 i?
