Hydraulic Ram to Raise Water Near Ricks Farm
A hydraulic ram powered by spring water is proposed for the Ricks farm south of Thames Bridge Road to lift water to his home. The plan relies on the strong spring producing about thirteen gallons and will use the ram to raise water to a high-lying supply. Officials say the system, feeding water to a bath and home pumps, could deliver modern comforts once connected. The project depends on spring capacity and elevation, with about sixty percent of energy attributed to the ram to lift the water.
