PUBLIc WORKS
The supply of water for Birmingham is taken from eleven wells,
the pumping plant being on Maple avenue on the banks of Rouge river.
The value of the plant is about $I5,ooo. The first well was bored February 12, I890, the funds being supplied by the Wayne County Savings
Bank with village bonds as security. Prior to I906 four or five wells
had been sunk and the supply for fire and other purposes which required pressure was pumped from a large tank. In that year six new
wells were bored and connected directly with the pumps, the cistern
being abandoned. Five were added in I912.
