Propose a modern, steady water supply for Boston. This historical pamphlet outlines a wide view of Boston’s water needs and possible solutions, with careful notes on sources, costs, and public responsibilities.

The author surveys current wells, explains how depth, soil, and tides affect water quality, and discusses top water, underground streams, and cisterns. He also considers distant sources, such as river water or ponds, and weighs the practical and financial feasibility of bringing fresh water into the city through main pipes and reservoirs.

What you’ll find
- An overview of the city’s water problems, including how population growth affects supply and quality.
- An analysis of potential sources, from local wells to distant river and pond supplies, and the risks and benefits of each.
- A framework for costing a major water works project, including reservoirs, mains, and distribution.

- A discussion of governance, private vs. public control, and what a city needs to consider before undertaking a large water system.

Ideal for readers of municipal history, urban planning, and 19th‑century public works. This edition presents the arguments, figures, and practical questions that shaped Boston’s approach to water in the 1830s.
