This rlan provides for the delivery of
water by gravity into Bergen Reservoir
at an elevation of 17 feet above mean
| high tide.
The first works provide for storage
| and intake reservoirs capable of collect
ing and delivering thirty-five million gal
Ions daily at all times, with a single pipe
| line capable of delivering thirty-five mill
ion gallons daily at the outset. 1t pro-
/ vides for ards, water rights and ease
| ments necessary to enable the city to di-
vert and use seventy million gallons daily.
The supply is to be taken from the Pas

Pompton Lake, located at the head of
the Pompton River, having an area OF ~
acres; an elevation at the flow line OF 2y9
| feet; a maximum depth of seventeen 40
feet; seventy-five per cent. OF the area
thereof will exceed eight feet in depth at
the full water level, and will have a ,stor-
age capacity of 719 million gallons OF wa
te,. The gathering grounds directly trlb-
utary to this reservoir amount to 1898
square miles, being the whole flow OF the

No. 3 upon a right of way a~sSfequired by
| the specifications, through a single steel
| conduit of seventy-two inches insidesd diam
