Report Upon New York's Water Supply is a detailed examination of New York City's water infrastructure needs at the turn of the 20th century. Prepared for Bird S. Coler, Comptroller, by John Ripley Freeman, this report delves into the necessity of securing additional water sources and estimates their probable cost under a system of municipal ownership. This historical document offers a comprehensive look at the challenges and considerations involved in managing a vital resource for a rapidly growing metropolis.
Freeman's report not only outlines the existing water supply system but also proposes solutions for expanding and improving it, ensuring that the city could meet the demands of its burgeoning population. It remains a valuable resource for understanding the engineering, financial, and political aspects of urban infrastructure development during a pivotal period in New York City's history.
