Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. 3: Contents and Index
The water works Of Salem, like the city itself, have had a long and interesting history. In 1797 a memorial was presented to the General Court showing that the inhabitants Of Salem are poorly supplied with water, and at no time with water that will wash, and that at this time there are many wells that are dry, that there are within a few miles Of that town many ponds and springs from which the inhabitants of said town may be abundantly supplied with good water by means Of an aque duct. Wherefore your petitioners pray that they may be incorporated for the purpose Of bringing fresh water from said ponds and springs into the Said town Of Salem.
