提到以下事实：由于1920年签约的四个农场支付了14,642美元，并因退休10,000美元的债券而退休，纽约州利特尔瀑布的水务委员会在其最新年度报告中表明，作为一份债券水工厂的建设和维护资金将有些耗尽，必须计划在随后的一年中进行计划，以期从比平时少的支出中获得最大的收益。该报告继续说：“最重要的是对系统的维护和维修，尤其是对分销部分的维修。维护的任何落后移动都会为未来累积麻烦，即使可以通过新建筑或必要的补充来获得福利。这项工作包括有效的消防栓，浮雕和关闭阀的持续维护以及寻找和修复泄漏。与此供水的卫生状况并行。卫生条件应首先出现，但没有供应。将几乎没有用。国家卫生部门提出了三个非常重要的建议，其中两个建议在分销储层周围建造旁路，以及建造过滤厂来过滤所有供应源，几乎无法资助今年。应该将辅助氯化器放置在分布储层上的第三个建议。RINATOR现在正在提供良好的服务，但是如果以维修需要一些时间的方式失败，则结果可能对城市非常有害。这发生在几个城市，并对负责人提出了严厉的批评。储备中的第二个氯化剂将始终确保安全供应。

The quantity of supply is ample and will remain so, as long as the city retains both the Beaver and Spruce Creek supplies, while at the same time a decrease in consumption can be obtained through the complete metering of the system and the continuous watch for leaks. Many cities, in both the east and the west, are suffering today through deferred maintenance for the past five years, from both the scarcity and quality of water, and during the financing of the needed improvements and the accumulative deferred maintenance, it is doubtful if some can maintain a sufficient supply. This applies to private and municipal plants, mostly in manufacturing centers, and it is said of many cities: ‘The inadequacy of water involves both quantity and quality of supply. The danger stage in many water plants is being approached in one or the other of these aspects or both.' When this condition is understood and it is realized this city has a good, sufficient supply one that is good as to quality, while at the same time this quality can be improved at a comparatively reasonable cost, it can be seen that any belittling of the system is unwarranted and that with the conserving of what is now owned by the city and the continual bettering of sanitary conditions, the city will always be amply protected. The system was designed by Stephen E. Babcock, and has remained in the past and does now remain a credit to him.”
