Massachusetts
Town of Whitman
At the time of the Town's incorporation, there was no public water system, and each household and factory had to have its own well. The Town eventually obtained the franchise for water from Silver Lake but was unable to finance the system. The Town turned the franchise over to Brockton with the stipulation that Whitman could receive its share at a special rate. Silver Lake water was turned on for Whitman on January 2, 1905
