, 12:19, 8 September 2021→BETTER WATER WORKS: WHAT WOOSTER WANTS AND CAN WELL HAVE; Report of Water Extension Commission to the City Council, Wooster, Oh. Nov. 19, 1894
The greater part of this was washed down into the water pipes of our city, almost directly, as the dam was nearly empty, by a dash of rain an hour or two before a camera could be brought and a photograph taken. However the photograph marked A and facing this page shows the pump and the little ravine in which the filter was partially concealed. The photography marked B following this pages, shows the appearance of the dam, and the quantity of water contained two hours after the rain. While that marked C, facing page-- -- shows a general view of the pumps and dam together.

NOTE-- The photographs referred to are attached to the official copies of the report as filed with the City Council and make it much more valuable. Of course THE REPUBLICAN cannot reproduce them
The only way to have pure water with certainty is to get water that nature itself has thoroughly filtered and to get it before it has again become contaminated and the only way to do that is to take it from under the surface of the ground, if possible, from a place where a strong surface stream will wash all surface impurities far down the valley below the point at which the supply is to be taken. Such a supply your commissioners have diligently sought and such they believe they have found.
