Excerpt from Sixteenth Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of Water Works: To the Council of the City of Cleveland, Together With the Reports of the Officers of the Board, for the Year 1872 To the Honorable City Council of the City of Cleveland: Gentlemen: - The undersigned herewith submit the Sixteenth annual report of the Trustees of Water Works. In the reports of the Superintendent and Engineer and the Secretary will be found statements in detail of the amount of work done, the general condition of the works and their cost to December 31st, 1871. A new pumping engine is being built by the Cuyahoga Furnace Company of this city, of a daily capacity of eight million gallons, to meet the increasing demand for water. The engine we expect will be completed and in running order sometime during the Fall. Plans are being prepared and nearly completed for the engine and boiler-house, and the work of construction will be commenced as soon as the weather will permit. A contract has also been made with Mr. Silas Merchant, of this city, for a new pumping main, three feet in diameter, to run from the new pumping works to the reservoir. In erecting the new building and laying the new pumping main, provision will be made for a second engine, to be placed in the building as soon as the demand for water shall require it, the only expense then necessary to double the pumping power will be the cost of the engine and boilers.
