Description:Excerpt from Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, Session 1890, Transactions, Thursday, 2nd January These defects have, it is believed, been since remedied, and the writer is informed that the same Company subsequently laid a similar mam with complete success for the Victoria water-works. The writer understands that the Iron Works Company was solely responsible for making and laying the steel mains in Vancouver. On the 15th November, 1889, a serious accident happened to the submerged main, by which the city was deprived of its water supply for eight days. One of the 12 in. Cast iron pipes, lying in 40 feet of water, was badly fractured, and it can hardly be doubted, from the position of the pipe, that the break was caused by a water ram. The writer under stands that Mr. Gr. A. Keefer had recommended automatic blow offs at each end of the submerged main, to guard against just such an acci dent but unfortunately his advice had been neglected. The blow offs referred to by the author are not automatic. The break was repaired by a diver, who covered the fracture with a wrought iron sleeve, in two parts bolted together and lined with vulcanite. In justice to the water-works Company, it should be added that it did all in its power to reduce the inconvenience to a minimum, bringing water across the Inlet, and delivering it free to its customers by cart.
