Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Cochituate Water Board, to the City Council of Boston Lake Cochituate, thus selected as the source of supply of water for the City, is situate within the limits of the towns of Framingham, Wayland and N atiek in the Coun ty of Middlesex. It may be considered, a chain of natural, subsiding reservoirs of water, three in number, having a general direction nearly north and south; its extreme length in a direct line being nearly three and one half miles, and its greatest breadth about eighteen hundred feet. The Lake is crossed by the Boston and Worces ter and the Saxonville Railroads, and by two County roads, one of which was formerly the Worcester Turnpike, and the other a road leading from F ramingham to Newton, and as the two last indicate the natural divis ions of the Lake, and separate it into three nearly equal parts, it is, for matter of reference, found convenient to consider the Lake as divided by them, into the Northern, Central and Southern Divisions.

Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Cochituate Water Board, to the City Council of Boston, for the Year 1852 It is proposed in doing this, to make use of Roman cement for stopping the fissures, and lining the interior as far as the inverted arch, instead of the American hydraulic cement which has been used, and so far as the work has advanced, the attempt has been quite successful. The operation must, however, be a slow one, as it will be impossible to shut off the water from the Aqueduct except for a few days at a time, and even then the quantity in Brookline Reservoir will be so much diminished that the loss of head will be, as it is now, seriously felt in many parts of the high service of the City. We regret that the necessity of using the foreign hydraulic cement, instead of the American which has been hitherto ineffectually tried, will some what increase the cost of the work.
