Construction of a High-Service Reservoir at Baltimore, MD
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 76, Issue 1
Abstract
The new high-service reservoir, Lake Ashburton, constructed by the Water Department of Baltimore in 1908-10, is on a site near the intersection of Slingluff Avenue and Liberty Road, and only a short distance west of the Western Maryland Railroad. The spot selected is between two low spurs which run eastward from a plateau, about 450 ft. above mean tide, and terminate in the low ground at Pecks Run. Between these spurs there flowed a small stream, Williams Run, carrying the cesspool overflow from a small suburban development and the storm-water flow from a few hundred acres.
