1897 Historical souvenir of Delhi, N.Y., [by Edgar Luderne Welch] Page 6. The Delhi Water Company. It was incorporated February 19, 1872. The incorporators were H. N. Buckley, Charles Hathaway, William Youmans, Charles Marvine, James H. Graham, W. C. Sheldon, T. Benjamin Meigs, James H. Wright, Daniel T. Arbuckle and Caleb A. Frost. At the first meeting, March 15, 1872, Charles Marvine was chosen president, Charles Hathaway vice-president, D. T. Arbuckle secretary and treasurer, and J. H. Wright superintendent. The capital stock was $20,000. The reservoir is on Steeles' Brook, three-quarters of a mile from Main street.

Page 55: The Delhi Water Works supplies the village from a reservoir, two and a half miles from the village, fed by Steele's brook, a mountain stream of spring water, which never gets low. The normal storage is 6,000 gallons with a capacity three times as great. Having a fall to Main Street of 196 feet the head is sufficient to throw a stream to the top of the highest building. The reservoir was built in 1896 by the Delhi Water Co., to replace one situated farther down stream and inadequate. In 1897 the village became the owner with the board of trustees as the water commissioners.
