To the'SelebrandßiinintonCouncils . of the qii.of
Pitiatiurgh.
The Mitering Committee respectfully pratent
brief Report of their-proceet*gs- cloring tbi `last'.
year.';
Shortly after the disastrous fire of 10th of. April
1845, it was determined to remove the 4, 6, &-8
inch pipes-laid in Grant,4Vater, and Penn streets,
and lay- in their places. 8. and 10 inch.pipes, there
by surrounding a large portion of-te City with
mains capable of affording an ample- supply for
its most populous districts,. and ; connecting :With
the Basin at two different points. This has been
satisfactorily accomplished; and although on the
course of the old;pipes, but few new customer,
have beer obtained, yet„ the; pipes s'S taken up
have been again laid,in those sectionsiof the city
where they were much needed, and for Which they
were stifficiently caPactons to affard ern abundant
supply. %The first cost of the 8 and 10 1 inch mains
and the expense 'of laying thern, are so much tar- .
ger Ahem that of the 4 and six - inches usually em-'
ployed, as- 'to render4he expenses ineurred
year apparently greater, in comparison with the
number of feet laid, than usual. There were in
all laid last year, 16,164 feet of various sizes of
OM. .
The Committee regret that no_satisfactory meani
have yet been devised for protecting the buildings
at the Water Works from the hazard of injury
from fire, to which, from their position and the•
nature of the surrounding property, they. are so
much exposed, but hope the attention of the next
Councils may be directed to that object, as the
loss or serious damage of the pumps or engines
would be. attended with the moat disastrouscon
sequences.
$278 64
previous to the, last ,year's_ assessment of the
water rent, the Committee adopted a scale of rates
which ha; given general satisfaitiori,"ami they are,
hippy to state that; the last yeares-collectioni ex:
ceed that of any former.year, and that the uncol
lected portion is less comparatively than before...
The rates now charged' aretnuch loWer than in
any other city, afthrding an equal supply. They
bear a small proportion to the benefits derived by
all classes from the'use of the water, as will ap
pear fiom subsequent calculations, are not Suffi
cient to defray the current expenses'of the Werks
and the interest on their cost.
By referring to the report of the Committee for
1844, it will be found, that that total cost to that
period, - of new and Old Works, lots,mains, &c.,
amounts to $152,4,56 14
The amount of permanent ixten-
Lion in IS4 5. was 11,660 S 6
AndAnd'the same for thelast year was 26,605. 62
Making to.rether.tbatotal cost .4.90,722 02
From whi ch the value ofe - cda
Works and reservoirlot should
be deducted—this has by form-
er Comthittees, been estimated
at $135 , 000, but it is suppo.sed
that its value:does not at pre.
sent exceed the sera of say

mated cost of Works, Reser

The Committee beg leave to refer to the ex
periment respecting the discharge of water from
nuzzles off different sizes, as although they consid
ered as approximations to the real quantity, they
are important as forming a basis for tilt future re
gulation of the Councils, with'regard to the proper
size of nozzles to be used for the various purposes
to which the City water is applied and of regulat
ing the rates accordingly.
During the past year no serious accident or in
terruption in the supply ,of water has—occurred,
some of the old,pipes occasionally gave way and
on examining them it is gratifying to witness the
improvement in that branch of manufacture which
has taken place since their construction.
There has been. counted and destroyed during
the lastyear, torn and defaced scrip to the amount
of $43,000, for which new scrip has been issued
under the authority of the various ordinances on
that subject. ,
For the details of the expenditure, the length
and size of mains and other particulars, the Com
mittee refer to the annexed report of the Superin
tendent, arid for the amount of skater rents and re
turns of the Collectors, they refer to the subjoined
statements of the clerk, and beg leavelo close their
report by expressing their approbation of the con
duet Of those important officers .during the past
year.
