_Reservoir Outlet and Entrance Tower._--The outlet, 61 cm. (24 in.) in diameter, leads from a well in the center of the reservoir and passes under the floor and embankment to an outside valve-pit, 89 m. from the center. This pipe was laid in a trench in a solid cutting before the construction of the embankment, and was encased in 1:4:8 concrete. Where it passes under the embankment a 1:2:4 concrete cut-off wall, 3.6 m. wide, 2.5 m. high, and 1 m. thick, was placed across it at right angles. The cast-iron pipe is curved upward in the central well, and has a bellmouth on which rests a movable circular copper screen. Above the outlet well, and on the roof of the reservoir, there is a central tower, giving access to the interior by a steel stairway. This tower also serves as a main ventilating shaft, and in it are arranged the guide-screens and gearing for raising them for cleaning purposes. In addition to the ventilation provided in the tower, 20 circular openings, 30 cm. in diameter, are carried through the roof of the reservoir at the circumference and into the parapet walls. _Inlet Gate-House, etc._--The inlet gate-house is above the reservoir and about 54-1/2 m. from its center. The conduit enters at 589.00 m. above datum, and the gate-house contains the valves for controlling the inlet pipe to the reservoir, the by-pass, overflow, scour-out pipe, and the copper screens. The inlet, which is 45.7 cm. (18 in.) in diameter, is of cast-iron flanged pipes, carried on iron hangers on the side-wall of the reservoir, and, at a point 90 cm. above the floor level, it is turned at right angles to the side-wall and carried on concrete piers to the center of the first row of columns. The end of the pipe is closed by a blank flange, and the water is deflected at right angles through two 30-cm. (12-in.) branches, for the purpose of setting up a slight circular motion as it enters the reservoir. The valve-pit is clear of the embankment, and in it are brought together the main supply and by-pass pipes on which are placed two 61-cm. (24-in.) sluice-valves; and between them there is a 20-cm. (8-in.) scour-out pipe, for emptying the reservoir into an adjoining arroyo. The arrangement of the valves gives complete control over the contents of the reservoir. _Venturi Meter-House._--Fig. 11 shows the arrangement of the Venturi meter and its automatic register in a house over the main supply pipe. This house is designed to form a feature of the entrance gateway of the reservoir grounds, which cover an area of 12 hectares. [Illustration: FIG. 11.--VENTURI METER-HOUSE.]
