Excerpt from Report of the Cochituate Water Board to the City Council of Boston: For the Year 1865-66 Chestnut Hill Reservoir. - The demand for water by manufac turing and mechanical establishments, consequent upon the growth of our city, in addition to the increased quantity required for domestic purposes, has, for some years, been a cause Of anxiety to the Water Board. The additional quantity gained by the connection of Dudley Pond With the Lake in 1862, did not fully satisfy the Board of that year, and in their Report they recommended the City Government to build a new reservoir somewhere near this end of the aqueduct for the storage of all the surplus water the Lake can furnish. And each subsequent Board, in their Reports, have urged the importance of a large reservoir for the purpose of holding an additional supply Of water, and also as a safeguard in case of accident to the conduit.
