Water Main Ordinance Configures Citywide Pipe System
A detailed ordinance sketches an extensive water supply network with six and four inch cast iron pipes, multiple tees, crosses, and hydrants. It specifies locations along Monroe, Adams, Henry, Madison, Lake, Randolph, Washington, Illinois, Sherman, Grant, Ada, Chicago, Howard, School, and other streets, plus intersections with range and Thornton roads. It also defines hydrant weights, reducer specs, cross placements, and ownership rights for adjacent properties to connect to the system.
