15af0965-2264-4738-9000-baab4f1bd84a | This quantity must, however, be reduced in the proportion of the area above Teddington, viz., 3,766 square miles, to that above the intakes, which is 3,548 square miles, thus bringing down the nett daily quantity to 1,354,521,778 gallons. This, we believe, is a very close approximation to the daily average flow of the ... |
44f974b5-d3e5-4252-a55b-47fc7b1aee2a | 50 "These being the facts, we are of opinion that, by the construction in the neighbourhood of Staines, of reservoirs of adequate capacity, into which water shall be pumped and stored in times of excess, to be used in times of deficiency, at least 300,000,000 gallons a day may be obtained for the supply of London. "We ... |

No gaugings of the discharge has ever been made at or below the intakes; but they have been kept for many years at Fielde's Weir, which has above it (as before stated) an area of 422 square miles. From this point we ha... |
042c27f1-243d-4772-ae6b-6b5b03a2678f | Of this the New River Company draw 22,500,000 gallons direct from the River above Ware; and the East London Company have at times taken 37,000,000 gallons. Dealing with the River as a whole, this abstraction is, in our opinion, too great with the storage now in existence; but if other reservoirs were constructed, adequ... |

We are well aware that a certain prejudice exists against the use of drinking water d... |
5b08cc27-a606-4ab3-9cfb-af4e6eb33c60 | "With respect to the quantity of water which can be obtained within the watersheds of the Thames and the Lea, we are of opinion that, if the proposals we have recommended are adopted, a sufficient supply to meet the wants of the Metropolis for a long time to come may be found without any prejudice to the claims, or mat... |
006ece63-715c-477c-a529-27774cea898c | We think it of very great importance that distinct obligations should be laid upon any company or Local Authority which is allowed to pump water from the chalk for purposes of public supply to keep accurate observation of the effect of their operations on the level of the water in the wells from which they pump, and re... |
afde6617-dbc5-4015-98e0-efd80a361505 | We are of opinion that, by the construction of storage reservoirs in the Thames Valley, at no great distance above the intakes of the Companies, it will be possible to obtain an average daily supply of 300,000,000 gallons without taking in any objectionable part of the flood water. The average daily flow of the Thames ... |
ecce9702-700f-4817-82fa-a581ab68d019 | It will thus be seen that, when 300,000,000 gallons are taken, there will be left to flow down into the tidal portion of the river an average daily quantity of not less than 1,000,000,000; and we think that regulations could be framed under which the quantity we suggest could be taken, not only without reducing the flo... |
d774c840-7b65-4305-966e-860d3c513ccb | From the sources and by the methods we have mentioned, a daily supply of 424,000,000 gallons can, in our opinion, be obtained. This is a sufficient quantity to supply 35 gallons per head to a population of 12,000,000 persons, which is about three-quarters of a million in excess of what the total population of Greater L... |
0a603481-40f9-40bf-b822-3d9459752433 | Of these witnesses examined whose evidence was directly adverse to the reservoir and storage schemes put forward by the Companies, that of Mr. A. R. Binnie, M. Inst., C.E., Chief Engineer to the London County Council, was the most important. Mr. Binnie's evidence was to the effect that the supply that could be drawn fr... |
abf5e5e0-bdbb-430c-b775-2c90a46f77de | The Water Committee of the London County Council issued a memorandum by its Chairman and a series of reports by the principal officers of the Council on the report of the Royal Commission on the Metropolitan Water Supply by which it will be seen that the conclusions of the Royal Commission are controverted to a certain... |
c7acf957-f07f-4c84-b868-8e82393491c4 | But this never entered into the reference to the Commission, and in considering their report it has constantly to be borne in mind that whatever they say in support of the prospective sufficiency (for forty years only) of the watersheds of the Thames and Lea has no bearing on the real question whether new gathering gro... |
5870c079-196c-47ac-9b2b-6461ae334447 | In regard to this, one has to bear in mind the long time which is required for the execution of the vast works necessary in large water schemes, and Mr. Binnie, the Council's chief engineer, says plainly that the people of London, "will, at some not very distant date (probably twenty years hence) have to contemplate th... |

a0b47927-7990-402b-96d5-269a35519022 | There is a good deal of common sense in some of the remaks in the reports about the safety, or otherwise, of polluted waters. Mr. Binnie draws attention to the fact that" the Royal Commissioners received although they do not quote it, some very strong evidence from one of the highest authorities, namely, Sir G. Buchana... |
c01111a7-1558-4bf0-83b3-ab26bc2071d4 | 57 In face of such evidence from such an authority we turn with interest to the paragraphs in Mr. Binnie's report summarising the pollutions of the Thames water, which the Commission thinks good enough for London. It seems that at the census of 1891 there was a population of 1,056,415 persons draining into the river ab... |

Such experiments should not be tried upon large communities." It would appear, then, that while Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, an... |
5f606639-21c3-444a-8c57-a71072abd2ca | The Royal Commission had before it evidence, he says, which showed that the rivers from which the Water Companies draw their supplies receive from the towns, situated on their banks at varying distances above the intakes sewage effluents, which, after treatment of the sewage, either by filtration through land or by che... |

dbdf0eb1-ab37-4ae0-9cda-a83ff3c05b9a | As it is probable that the completeness of the future operations of the water companies may depend upon the necessity which can be shown for efficient filtration, it is a matter of great importance that the natural processes of purification should not be held to be more deserving of confidence than they really are. Aft... |
8b893118-fb98-4c33-ae0b-900d24ff2002 | Nothing can be found in the report which in any way disturbs this conviction, and it may be assumed, as has always been urged in these reports, that the water supplied to London, if properly treated by the avoidance of pollution, ample storage (in order to avoid the necessity of taking in water from the river when in f... |
9aa6d9d9-2bde-4ba9-a733-8007982052cc | Although very little is definitely said on the subject, the impression which the perusal of the report leaves upon the mind is that the whole control of the water supply, from the sources to the final delivery to the consumer, should be in the hands of one authority, and that the time has arrived when competing compani... |
d3579bab-daa3-4fbb-afbc-5f58100ae920 | But although we quite recognise the greatness of the cost, we also recognise the greatness of the evil which it is meant to obviate— namely, the continued use of a water supply drawn from sources which are every year becoming more foul. Moreover, it must not be forgotten that if the recommendations of the Royal Commiss... |
07a51a90-25c2-4888-a179-1b889e028696 | The report goes so far as to state that while the expense of providing London with an extra 240 million gallons of water a day from present sources would amount to upwards of £100,000 per million gallons, the expense of fetching 182 million gallons per day from Wales would be but £96,000 per million gallons, while to b... |
9f7b2f1f-7066-4b23-99b3-3825c3be9c84 | But it certainly sometimes fails, and it is clear that so long as we drink water derived from a thickly populated area over which the use of waterclosets is rapidly extending, so long must we remain absolutely dependent on the unintermitting efficiency of processes of sedimentation and filtration for our protection fro... |

42069acc-2b9e-427f-b62b-e5055d9f22a8 | We have lately been told that after the filtration to which London water is subjected it is sometimes absolutely sterile; but that is not the point. The real criterion by which filtration has to be judged is not its power of occasionally producing a pure effluent, but of always keeping back such micro-organisms as may ... |

If this number was accepted, they had then to consider... |
067f2220-1223-4733-a9ea-24ffd8787657 | The population of "Water London" was, according to the census of 1891, 6,500,000, whilst the population of the 66 County Council area was 4,232,000. The rateable value of "Water London" was £41,750,000, of which £30,000,000 was within the County Council area, and £11,750,000 outside that area. Of course that gave a gre... |
