THOS. J. WHITMAN, .... ~.Stoner ROB’T E. McMATH, - EUGENE F. WEIGEL, - Park Commissioner JOHN ALT. - - - Harbor & Wharf Commissioner EMORY S. FOSTER, ----- Secretary EXTENSION OF ST. LOUIS WATERWORKS To the Honorable Mayor and Municipal Assembly of the City of St. Louis : Gentlemen.— The Board of Public Improvements begs leave to submit herewith its report, estimates and plans for the extension of the low service division of the St. Louis Waterworks. The proposed extension contemplates the erection of works of a capacity of fifty million gallons per day at first, with provision made so that this can be increased to an ultimate capacity of one hundred millions of United States gallons per day, by adding pumping machines, settling basins and filters as they may be required. The location of the new low-service works recommended by the Board of Public Improvements is near the Chain of Rocks, about seven and a half miles above Bissell’s Point. The reasons for taking the water from the river at the Chain of Rocks have been-so fully stated in vari¬ ous reports to the city authorities (and more particularly in the reports of the Board of Public Improvements submitted during the last five years), that it will be sufficient to give a short resume, in the latter part of this report, of the grounds on which the Board’s recommenda¬ tion is based. No serious argument has ever been advanced against the location at the Chain of Rocks except the presumed greater cost of the works, if erected at that locality, over works of the same capacity erected at Bissell’s Point. • To ascertain whether this objection is well founded, plans and estimates have been made for both locations. Each plan contemplates the erection of a tower in the river for receiving the water, a conduit from this tower to the pump pits, the foundations for the pumping ma¬ chinery, the erection of engine-house, boiler-house, and a house for storage of coal, and a set of low-service pumping engines ; the construc¬ tion of settling basins and of filter beds. As far as the items here mentioned are concerned, the requirements are exactly alike, and the difference in cost arises from the natural con¬ ditions prevailing in the two locations. But in addition to these works, common to both plans, the location at the Chain of Rocks requires the construction of a large conduit, seven and a-half miles in length, to convey the water from the settling basins at the Chain of Rocks to the clear well, and eventually to the filter beds at Bissell’s Point; it also demands the construction of a switch track for conveying coal to the low-service works. These two items largely increase the cost of works at this location, — 2 — struction of foundation and the difference in the cost of land required for settling basins and filter beds, are, as the estimate shows, sufficient to balance the cost of conduit and railroad switch, not only for the ultimate extension of the Works to a capacity of 100,000,000 gallons per day, but even for the first extension to a capacity of 50,000,000 gallons per day.

To avoid the cost of purchasing additional land, plans and esti¬ mates for the extension at Bissell’s Point were first made locating the basins on the ground now owned by the city, just west of the present settling basins. Owing to the distance back from the river, the bottom of the proposed basins would have to be raised some nine or ten feet above the present surface of the ground, in order to be able to drain the sediment deposited into the river. The area of available ground at this location limited the capacity of the proposed works to forty million gallons per day. The estimated cost of this work was so great, and the proposed construction was considered so unsafe, that the plans were abandoned as impi acticable. The location at the Chain of Rocks has the following advantages over the location at Bissell’s Point: 1. It will secure for all time to come water not contaminated by sewage, as the intake will be above all influence of town drainage, shore nuisances or washings incidental to the suburbs of a city. 2. At the Chain the foundations for the machinery can be had on solid rock, while at BisselPs Point it would be some twenty-two feet above the rock. Also the ground at the Chain gives a much better foundation for the masonry of the settling basins than at Bissell’s Point. 3. An estimate can be made for construction at the Chain with much more accuracy than at Bissell’s Point. In the latter case the cost of construction is more liable to be largely increased by accidents. 4. The estimate for the Chain includes the cost of new machinery in place of that now in use at Bissell’s Point, which (assuming that the works at the Chain may be put in operation in 1888-9) will have been in constant operation for seventeen or eighteen years. 5. The Chain of Rocks construction will enable a storage of fil¬ tered water to be made in the present basins. After the consumption reaches forty-five to fifty million gallons per day, such storage will be absolutely required. If, in addition to the estimate given for the exten¬ sion at Bissell’s Point, provision of this kind be added, the expense of construction would largely exceed the expense of building at the Chain of Rocks. 6. It would be practically impossible to sewer the area of the city that drains into the river above the present location of the low-service works, so that the storm water could be delivered into the river below the present intake. The sewage proper could be thus treated, but this would require a double system of sewers, the extra cost of which would be over one million dollars and a large annual expenditure for pumping. — 6 — 7. The ground between Broadway and the river, for three and a half miles above Bissell’s Point, being very suitable for the purpose, will undoubtedly, to a great extent, be covered with factories of one kind and another; the transportation of materials used here will be largely by river, and thus, within the next twelve or fifteen years there will probably be quite a number of river craft lying along the shore just above the place where the water for the supply of the city would be taken, should the extension be made at Bissell’s Point. 8. Owing to their location, the present basins at Bissell’s Point cannot be cleaned from about the middle of April to middle of Sep¬ tember, whereby their capacity is reduced fully one-fifth. At the Chain of Rocks the elevation of the ground is such that the settling basins can be placed high enough to be cleaned at all stages of water, and the increased slope to the conduits that cany the sediment back to the river will insure the handling of the material in less time and at less expense than obtains in the present basins. 9. As shown by the estimates, the source of supply can now be changed to the Chain of Rocks without a money loss; but should extensions of the river work be made at Bissell s Point, then no change in the mode of taking the water from the river could be had without the sacrifice of the largest part of the cost of this construction.

By that time the conduit could be built and the engine building far enough advanced to allow of the erection of one of the pumping machines. By 1889 one of the three basins could be completed and during the following year y 1890, the entire work, except the filter beds, required to furnish fifty million gallons per day, could be put into operation. If the financial policy, now thoroughly inaugurated, be continued, then the statement marked ‘ ‘A” will show in what order the work can be carried on, and when the entire extension to a capacity of fifty mil¬ lion gallons per day can be completed. In making up this statement, it is believed that the minimum of income has been given, and that the maximum of operating expenses has been estimated for. The amount allotted for the extension of the distribution pipe for the first few years, is doubtless rather limited, but considering the very large amounts that have been given to this part of the works during 1884-5, and the imperative necessity of having the capacity of the low- service work increased in the shortest time possible, has induced the Board to limit the yearly amount for laying pipes during 1886, 1887, 1888, and 1889, to the lowest amount admissible. In conclusion, the Board desires to say, that although extensive surveys, borings, soundings, test pits and other examinations of the grounds upon which it is proposed to locate the works have been made, yet the plans herewith submitted are not proposed with a view of their being adopted, as the final plans for construction; but, rather, they are to be considered as the general plans on which to base esti¬ mates of costs, and as showing the general designs and location of the proposed construction. The estimates are considered sufficient to cover the maximum cost in any event, and it is believed that experiments now in progress will demonstrate that the cost of construction, as regards the settling basins and filter beds, can be reduced materially below the amount es¬ timated for this portion of the works, while in no part of the proposed construction will the estimates be exceeded. On the other hand, as has been stated above, the anticipated income from water rates has been placed at what is considered a mini¬ mum amount, while the operating expenses have been placed at what is believed to be an outside figure. The Board would earnestly recommend to the Honorable Municipal Assembly that they take such action as will enable the construction of the low-service works at the Chain of Rocks, to be commenced during the present season.
