The Sheffield City Council have decided to promote a Bill in Parliament with a view of securing a portion of the waters of the Derwent to augment the supplies of the city. It is estimated that 30,000,000 gallons would be available from the Derwent. Derby and Leicester want about two-thirdss, and Sheffield would like to have the remainingn third, which would be adequate for the needs of the city for forty years. Ultimately Sheffield will have to join with other great Yorkshire towns in a scheme for obtaining water from Westmorland or Cumberland, the natural reservoir of the North and Midland of England. ____________________________________________________________________
