THE WANAQUE WATER-WORKS PROJECT.
BY ARTHUR H. PRATT.*
[Read September 25, 1930.]
The Wanaque Water-Works Project is a district water supply built for the use of a group of municipalities in the North Metropolitan Area of New Jersey. The source of supply is the Wanaque River, one of the upper tributaries of the Passaic River which is the largest stream in the northeastern part of the state.
The run-off from an area of 94.4 sq. miles is impounded in the Wanaque Reservoir having a storage of 29 600 million gal., and the yield of 100 m.g.d. is conducted to the cities through an aqueduct 20 miles long, consisting mainly of a 74-in. twin steel pipe-line.
The construction work on this project was begun in 1920 and was sufficiently completed last spring (1930) to deliver water at the end of the aqueduct. The cost of the completed project will approximate $27 000 000.
