Design of A Tater Supply System for
ing steps:
KushYille Illinois.
The desip;n of this system ^vas accomplished "by the follow-
1st. The field 'vork, plotting of profiles of streets ana
makinf^ of a topographical map of the to"m.
2nd. Determination of amount and distribution of popula-
tion. Determination of fir^d supply.
3rd. Designof the DiKtrituting System and location of
pu' ps and tanks.
4th. Design of eleTated tank and tower.
5th. Design of p mips and pump house.
6th. Specifications and estimates. •
Field '^ork.
Profiles of all streets and import-o-nt alleys were made
from elevations taken ever-'- fifty feet on the center line of
the streets. The profiles 'vere plotted and a topograplxical
map also made contour lines 'bein;'" plotted for every t".vo feot
change of elevation.
Distribution of Population.
The population ^vas considered in the ratio of five people
to everj^ fifty feet of frontage. This distribution makes a.
total population of ten thousand people •vhich number allovs x'or
a large future growth. Allowing one hundred and ten g.

million one hundred thousand gallons.
f'or the fire supply four i:iydrants will be alio -'od in use
at any one time each hydrant supplying 175 gallons per minute
or 1.55 ca. ft. per second for the four l-i;:,''d rants.
Design of PistriTjutinp; System.
The pumps -'all "be located on the lot adjoining the C. B.
& ^. K. j\. at the west end of Ad^aiis street. This is done for
the sake of convenience in getting fuel supplies etc. The el-
evated tank will be "built iirmed lately adjoining the pumps this
being a liigh section of the town.
The distributing system will be designed to supply tiie
entire domestic supply for the day in a period of ten hours
"/hich is the period that the pumps will be operated. This is
at the rate of 4.08 cu ft per second. No addition -vill be
made for the fire supply it being considered thc^t in case of
necessity the fire supply will be furnished at the expenr-e of
a domestic supply. No main will be designed, hcvever, to
carry less than the fire supply of 1.55 cu ft per second.
The main distributing system will be as follovs:
A large main will run east on Adorns street from the punps.
From this Adams street main a main will run-
1st. Soith on Franklin St. , designed to supply the dis-
trict south of Adams St. and west of Jackson Ct.
2nd. ?:outh on Fonroe St. designed to tupply tjie district
south of Adeans St. between Jackson St. and Liberty St.
3rd. South on Morgan St. designed to supply the district

"between ^ater pipe and nozzle ".'ill "be 51. 5 l"bs. or 120 ft. .^
This allows a pres.'.ure at the no -:^le of 52. 5 ft. The location

The tank will "be desif^ned.^to have a capacity of 230,000
gallons. This is a domestic supply for one- third of u day
for four thousand people. (The present popul:..tion. ) plus
two hours fire supply. It it. also sufficient for a day's

Prom the catalogue if^.sued by the Cameron Steam Puiap

A fefid pump for tlie boilers and heater of si:je 4 l/2" x
2 3/4" X 4" will be used.
The si3e of the boiler is determined by finding the
Boiler-Horse Power required and selecting a suitable boiler
giving the required poi'/er. The Boiler- Horse Pow^r is deter-
mined as follows. •.

or broken stone shall be placed beneath and around the hydrants,
up to a point one (1) foot ab ve the drip; then the earth
shall be tamped securely to the surface. In sandy or gravely
ground, enough broken stone shall be placed about the drip
to keep it free from clogging.
The foot of the hydrant shall be securely braced behind,
to prevent injui'y to the bottom joint, and care must be
taken to set the hydrants truly vertical. Each hydrant -.vill
be Get truly at grade and -".dll stand upon a flat stone or
upon a piece of plank, 2 in. x 12 in. x 12 in.

duced therefrom.. At least one full set of test , both chem-
ical and pliytical, as above specified, shall be made of each
melt, and such additional tests may be made as, in the judg-
ment of the inspector, seem essential for corrobative pur-
poses under varying conditions or riethods of tref.1,n;ent of
the metal. All plates must be free from laminations and
surface defects, and shall be rolled truly to the specified
thicknesses. Complete facilities for the tests and inspec-
tions ahall be provided by tiie contractor, as required. Ma-
terial may be inspected at the mill by such party as may be
approved by the ''.^ater "oi'ks Committee of the city of Rushville,

Rubbish and other unsip:htl^ materitil caused by his ope;-

the work.
In cases where the fo'-indations are to be built by par-

will furnish anchor bolts ;ind sketch for settinfT; the s'jne,
to t'le Tormer, ho will set these bolts in the foundations
as they are built, locating them exactly .ls required by the
accepted plan.
The foundations shall be concrete, built accordinr^ to
foundation plans furni; hed by the builder of the tov/er, ,ixd
accepted by the Engineer.
J^xcavation shall be carried well below the frott line
to a firm footing, deeper than sh^'vn on plans if necessary,
to ecure this result, but >.n increased cost, to be agreed
