Board of Water Supply. City Water Tunnel No. 1. Workers had completed the initial phase of grouting in this Brooklyn section of tunnel, but water still poured in from rock seams on the other side of the concrete tunnel lining. The next phase of grouting filled the seams to reduce that flow, then the tunnel was cleaned to complete this messy job. February 7, 1914.
