Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Water Waste Prevention Its Importance and the Evils Due to Its Neglect: With an Account of the Methods Adopted in Various, Cities in Great Britain and the United States
Uring the summer of 1882 the Editor of the sanitary engineer carefully investigated the methods employed in various cities in Great Britain for curtailing the waste of water without subjecting the respective communities to either inconvenience or a limited allowance. The results of this investigation appeared in a series of articles entitled New York's water-supply, the purpose being to present to the readers of the sanitary engineer such facts as would stimulate public sentiment in support of the enforcement of measures tending to prevent the excessive waste of water so prevalent in American cities, and especially the city of New York, which was then suffering from a short supply.
