SANTA ANA WATERWORKS PLANT.

SANTA ANA WATERWORKS PLANT.

加州圣安娜的水厂系统,是所有by the city. It was installed in 1891, and at first consisted of one building 36x42 ft., two 50-horsepower boilers, two Worthington pumps, one artesian well, one reservoir 80x80 ft., capacity 360,000 gals., 12-in. to 4-in. cast iron pipe lines on various streets—in all 48,792 ft., and sixty fire hydrants. The cost was $60,000. In 1897-8 the two 50-horsepower boilers were replaced by two of ioo-horsepower; additions were made to the reservoir, another section being added, 80x100 ft., and its capacity increased to 1,000,000 gals. An air-compressor was also installed. Wells have been added from time to time, until now’ there arc five wells from which the water for the city is derived. In 1904 it was found imperative to enlarge the plant and extend the service over greater territory, also to lay larger mains to the centre of distribution. In 1905, $100,000 was expended in improvements — namely, addition to station 60x80 ft., one 200-horsepower boiler, one compound, Corliss, flywheel pump, capacity 4.000,000 gals. New 20-in. to 4-in. cast iron pipe lines were added to the amount of 83,568 ft. The station and reservoir are situated in the corner of First and Garnsey streets and in the lower part of the city. The water is pumped from the five wells by compressed air furnished by a steamdriven air-compressor, water being raised from a level 60 ft. below the surface of the ground and delivered into the reservoir. The suction-pipes of the service-pumps enter the bottom of the reservoir, and by the pumos the water is forced to the highest point in the city relative to population through a 20-in. main, and thence is distributed to the various sections of Santa Ana. The plant is operated by steam, crude oil being used for fuel. The five wells are of 8-in. and 12-in. diameter; they are 350 ft. deep; the casing is of riveted sheet steel. The legend of the wells is as follows: From o to 92 ft., clay and sediment; from 92 to 118 ft., sand and gravfl; from 118 to 190 ft., clay; from 190 to 226 ft., sand and gravel; from 226 to 292 ft., clay; from 292 to 310 ft., sand and gravel; from 310 to 330 ft., clay; from 330 to 352 ft., gravel. All pipe 4 ins. in diameter and larger is standard weight, hub and spigot form, cast iron; under 4-in., wrought iron solid pipe. The original installation of hydrants w'as provided with Fclipse, double-nozzle fire hydrants, the latter, with California double-nozzle hydrants. Water is furnished for fire protection to the hydrants, and the pressure is maintained by direct pressure from the pumping station, pressure from 90 to 125 lbs., according to the location of the hydrant. All fire-alarms are repeated at the pumping station, just as at the fire department. One hundred and sixty-two fire hydrants are set; eighty-one gates, 49-in. to 4-in. Nine hundred and eighty-nine Water meters are installed and 2.000 services. Of cast iron pipe is laid the following: Five thousand five hundred ft. of 20-in.; 700 ft.. 14-in.; 1,800, 12-in.; 6,550, to-in.; 4,750. 8-in.; 32.525, 6-in.; 89,425. 4-in.—total, 141,250 ft. Of dipped 2-in. pipe 12 miles are in service. During 1906, 513,781,975 gals, of water were pumped, and 249,738 gals, of fuel oil were consumed, 2,057 gals, being pumped with one gal. of fuel. The city’s population is at least 8000. which gives a per-capita consumption of about 64.222.75 gals, per year, 176 gals, per capita daily. The total cost of pumping per 1,000.000 gals, was $18.32—.0183 per 1.000 gals. The operating expenses for the year amounted to $9,47402: imorovements. $11,068.93; bonds and interest, $10.887.50—total. $31,430.45. The total receipts, including water for public purposes, were $32,466.10. The other equipment is as follow’s: Buildings: two too-horsepower tubular boilers; one 200-horsepower Heine toiler; one Risdon pump two Worthington pumps; one Laidlaw-Dunn-Gordon compressor: tw'O Stillwell-Bierce compressors: one Worthington feed-pump: one Worthington oil pump: one open heater; steam pipe and covering; five wells; piping in wells; lines from wells to reservoir: reservoir; oil tanks and building—total value. $44,060. Superintendent Ransom Reid makes the following recommendations: (I) That at the earliest moment the city ascertains the exact subterranean flow from which it may derive additional water supply, as the time is not far distant when it must supplement the present supply ; (2) that at the end of the present fiscal year the city adopts a different system of bookkeeping for the department. A subdivision of the various branches, especially in regard to the expenditures; at the present time all is receipts or expenditures, and it is a difficult matter to ascertain operating, improvements, etc.; (3) that, in view of the fact that the city now has over fifty per cent, of all services metered, the rate be reduced to .08 per 100 ft.
