no immediate need for the extension
heretofore thought necessary.
2. Install new 4S-irich main from
the Bryant Street Station to Euclid
street and Georgia avenue, making a
connection on the third high service
with the two existing 2O-inch mains,
one via Georgia avenue and one via
Euclid street. This main is essential
to remove restriction which now exists
on the third high service whenever
pumping Is required from the Bryant
Street Station. Estimated cost, $l10,-
600.
Pump Is Projected.
g. Install a 10000, 000-gallon turbo
pump on the third high service in the
Bryant street station and make GER
tain necessary station improvements, in
Guiding an econolniZer and generator.
Estimated cost $4,000.
Bryant street station is at present
equipped with 10000 000-gallon and
100000 gallon pump for the third
high service. 1t is difficult to operate
these pumps together and the estimated
demand on the third high service, due
to the phenomenal growth of the pop
ulation in that service, will exceed the
capacity OF the present pumps in 1881.
Should there be breakdown in the
Dalecarlia plant it would be impossible
with the present equipment to supply
the maximum demand during that
year.
The estimated cost given above in
cludes the connection with the second
high service on which the new pump
could be thrown to supplement the
present $4,000, 000-gallon second high
pump.
Adequate Service.
| With the installation of this pump
both services would be operated with
| adequate breakdown service for the
| Dalecarlia.
A. Extend the present third high
| service with q 24-inCh main from
Nebraska avenue and Broad Branch
road to Patterson street and west in
Patterson street to Chevy Chase Circle
and southwest in Western avenue to
Forty-third street. Estimated cost is
$4,000.
This extension is necessary not only
to take care of the increased real
estate development In this neighbor-
hood, but also to make adequate con-
| nectionS with the mains of the Wash
ington suburban sanitary district pre-
viously authorized by Congress.
5.-Extend the present f1rst-high
AnacoStia service with a 30-inch main
from Eighteenth street and Minnesota
avenue to Pennsylvania avenue and east
IN Pennsylvania avenue to Alabama
avenue at Fort Davis, to supply the
new reservoir to be erected at that
point.
Growing High Service.
The reservoir and line are necessary
to adequately supply the growing first
high service in Anacostia, which al
present Is dependent upon two tanks
of 10000 gallons capacity each. The
estimated cost is $lT2,00O.
6. The construction of q 5000 600
gallon reservoir at Fort Davis, Ana
costa, the estimated cost of which IL
$4,000. At present this high servicI
area Is dependent upon two tanks o.
1870, 000-gallon capacity each, which arr
inadequate to supply the area served b!
them. Furthermore, this high seryicI
is dependent upon the pumps at Min
neSota avenue and Eighteenth street
for which no breakdown service is pro-
vided.
z. Connect the new 48-inch third high
main under Item 2 above with the enc
of the third high main at Military roac
and Georgia avenue with 48-inch line
This will provide 48-inch loop between
Bryant Street Pumping Station ant
Reno Reservoir.
Elimination of Loss.
This line will eliminate the loss o
head in the present small mains ant
! will provide for the rapid development
OF this section of the city. 1t will ade
uuately provide a break down servic
! for the Dalecarlia plant and will sup
] plement 1t when the capacity of tn
Dalecarlia plant is reached. EStimate'
{ cost is $476,000.
