A PRACTICAL PLAN FOR SETTLING TUE
• WATER DISPUTE _

Those who feel an interest in tbe water question—and
.who is there in Liverpool that does not ?—will require no
apology from us for the space which we have .devoted,
from time to time, to the discussion of this important
subject a matter of more vital interest to the health,
morals, and comfort of this great community than any
legislative measure which was ever promulgate/—a
matter which affects alike the poverty-stricken denizens of
our courts and cellars, and the " merchant princes" who
luxuriate in their suburban palaces. To one and all,
whatever their rank or station; a supply of good and
wholesome water is a necessity indispensable_ to, their well
being, and fortunately the elements are no respecter of
persons. The rain falls on the just and the unjust, and
poisonous water is as fatal in its effects to the peer as to the
peasant.

Thrde who have dispassionately considered the question
of our ;water supply must, like ourselves, have arrived at
the irresistable conclusion that, in point of quality, the
Rivirgton water, impregnated as it is with peat and other
deletetious matter, never could compensate for the pure
Spring. teeter, to the use of which the inhabitants have
been so long hahituated, and which has been the admiration
of all strangers frequenting our town. Such is the.excsllence
of this water that no consideration ought to induce the
authorities to dt prive the inhabitants of its use, until they
have found a substitute equally gotd. This -fact. is new
admitted by many of the more moderate and reasonable
advocates
,of the Pike scheme. " But," they say, owe have
got the Pike water here ; we have spent upwards of a million
sterling te procure it, and are we going to throw it away ?"
TM's to I be argument we In quoutly hear used; and it .south
be conclusive enough, that pure water must be had
for our household uses and shipping purposes, irrespective
of cost. In another column we have alluded to the views
entertained by a member of the council as to the practica-
bility of supplying the town with Spring water and Pike
water through the same mains, but at different periods dui._
ing the twenty-four hours, and a•motion to that effect was to
have been brought Lefore the council at their last meetine.
It was, however, passed over—for the time at least. We
do not ourselves pretend to know much about the ramifica-
tion of our water supply ; but, as we have deemed every
plan, which had for its object the securing of a certain
supply of pure Spring water to the inhabitants, worthy of
the most serious c:nsideration, we submitted the matter to
the opinion of a gentleman in whose judgment we hai,e the
fullest confidence, and who has a thorouginn aczical know-
eege of the awhole subject; and we have much pleasure in
placing his views before our readers. He says :
". 1 am inclined to think that en alternating daily supply of
Spring and Pike water, distributed to the town throughout the
same mains during the twenty-four hours, is a plan which, in
practice; mould not prove altogether satisfactory ; for, although
there could be no practical difficulty in having the mains charged
with either one or the other water, yet, in the short interval
pro Posed, I do not think it possible that the Well water could
be supplied without a large admixture of that from Rivington :
hence the quality would, in most instances, disappoint those
who desired to obtain the pure Well water.- In fact, it would
prove somewhat similar to the mixed
,mater, at present
supplied—at least, in most instances, such would be the result.
If, however, it was resolved to' give a. simply of Well water
and Pike water on alternate days, then, indeed, the matter
would be very different ; as ample time could be allowed to
dram-off all the Pike water'in the mains after the Well water
had ben turned on. In order that I may make the whole
matter familiar to you and your seeders, let us suppose that
the Water Committee come to the determination of supplying
the Well water to' the, whole town thrice . a week—say on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—l, assume, of course,
that one of the reservoirs at Kensington set apart exclusively
for the use of the Well, and the other•to that of the ,Rivington
water. .I commence by giving a printed notice to
every inhabitant using water from the works, that
on the days named they could, after a certain hour
in the morning, draw Spring water Item the nudes up to a
certain hour in the evening. In order that this might be
ffectually accomplished, I would at an early hour on Monday
afternoon, say four o'clock, shut off the supp'y of Rivington
wver, and at once turn on that from the wells into the mains,
when, by eight o'clock at latest next mornina, we should find
that all the pipes had been exhausted of the Rivington, and its
place occupied by the Spring water in all its purity. This I
would keep on till evening, when the Rivington would again
supplant the Well water. This rotation would, of course, go on
incessantly. The time of supplying either, to he modified by
circumstances. Those who have cisterns in their houses, would
only have to put a stop tap on their supply pipe in older to
admit or shut off either water at pleasure. But as
by far the %treater number of the inhabitants are
supplied by independent taps in some part of their
premises, no alterations whatever would be necessary, in so far
as they ate concerned. The same remark applies to such comes
(now few in number) where one pipe supplie.s several dwell-
ings. In fact, if this plan of supplying water of both descrip-
tions was honestly and fairly set about, the whole of the
arrangements could be completed in one week, or even less.
Theme nerd be no difficulties in the way, unless such as may
bo intentionally created. It must be remembered that, a
few years since, the town had a supply of water only thrice
weekly, and that only for a very limited potiod. This
arrangement would not in any way intetfere with the
supply for fires or manufacturing purposes, while the inhabi -
ants could enjoy either Pike or Well water, or both, at their
pleasure. It is possible that, as soon as convenient, an extra line of
three feet pipes should bo laid from the Old Swan to Kensington,
a distance of about half a mile ; but as this is an arrangement
which might to exist under any 'circumstances, the cost .is not
matter for calculation here. I again repeat what I have
already stated, that there exists no practical difficulty whatever
in giving the supply in the way described, if the authorities are
So disposed, and that, too, without involving the town in any
cost or.annoyance whatever."
--Sutb, then, is the simple plan which our authority has
propounded for settling the entire question; and we verily
believe, if adopted, we may add to the satisfaction of all
parties. Here we have no • double line of pipes compli-
cating what is already much too intricate. No outlay
and, • what is- of as much importance as all the
rest, no delay. The whole plan is so very simple, that
the only.wonder is that. people.did not think of it before?
The Water Committee
,hevo .it now, in their power to prove
their disinterestedness ; and let us- hope that they will not
hesiteite in taking the necessary steps to give this plan a
fair trial—let no contemptible spirit of rivalry or petty
jealousy on the part of officials be permitted to thwart a
scheme which we honestly believe to be the very one the town
stands in need of at the present moment. These views are not
those of any empetical amateur or adventurer, but the opi-
nions of a thoroughly practical man, who fully understands
the whole subject; and, as such, are entitled to due
consideration.
