In 1898 New York suffered
from a yellow fever epidemic
which was attributed to an in
adequate water supply.
On April End, 1899. the Man
haitian Company was chartered.
with a capital of 100000. for
supplying the City Of New
York with pure and wholesome
water.
The Manhattan Company
supplied water to those living
south of the City Hall until u
complete municipal supply was
installed about 1882.
AS the charter permitted its
surplus capital to be employed
