Rigaud, QC	40,000 closed octagonal From LAC RG12 vol. 1880 file 3268-74 10 December 1896 At Rigaud water tank 40,000 gals is erected and in operation. This former is supplied by steam pump . 8 December 1897 Water service at Rigaud is in process of completion. I mentioned in my previous report that the company proposed to adopt the gravitation system procuring their supply from the municipal council of the village of Rigaud. When the matter came up before the Council the amount was so exorbitant that the railway company abandoned the project. The company is now setting up a water service of its own on the windmill pumping system. The windmill is in place at station 870. The tower is 40ft high to main platform with a subsidiary tower10ft 6 inches high sustaining the axle of the mill or a total elevation above the surface of 50' 6". The windmill is 20 feet diameter. The tank which is flash (?) proof is in process of construction. Gives details of supports etc. 24,000 gal capacity. Ontario Pump Company expected to have it completed within ten or fourteen days. It is almost certain it will be ready by Christmas. The company's train services are in the meantime being supplied from the temporary tank near Hudson on the gravitation principle referred to in my former report	https://www.canada-rail.com/quebec/r/rigaud.html
