In 1895 a filter was constructed near the pumping station, for the filtration of that portion of the water supply which is drawn directly jfrom the Charles River. The filter has an area of about a quarter of an acre and consists of five feet in depth of sand taken from a bank in the immediate vicinity. Before being applied to the filter the water from the river is passed through a small settling basin. Daring the summer of 1895 it is said that about 400,000 gallons of water were filtered daily,... and that the filter was cleaned about once in six weeks when running at this rate.
