Scope and Content: Responsibility for operating a system of waterworks for the Metropolitan Water District (Boston and surrounding communities) was transferred from the Metropolitan Water Board to the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board by St 1901, c 168 and then to the Metropolitan District Commission by St 1919, c 350, ss 213-219, specifically to its Water Division.  These agencies were successively responsible for providing an adequate supply of pure water; controlling ponds and other watershed property; and constructing, operating, and maintaining reservoirs, aqueducts, and other waterworks.  Subject files were created to assist directors in the administration of the Water Division and its predecessors.
