POTOMAC WATER,
II. nfanni1a Condition.


The usual complaints against tie condition Of
the Potomac water at this ssaso1n Of the year are
Just now being made with terrible energy BY the
consumers. As matter o. course the water reg
istrsr is the objective point Of the complainants
and all have aremedy 90 suggest for the evil. As
fact, the water ls iast new in bad condition
offensive both to the taste and smell; but people
make mistake In attributfng 1t to the deeayed
ish. The fault Is one Of annual recurrence, and
one which can hardly be remedied by the water
department with the present condition OF the PO-
tcmac river. 1t Is occasioned by the vegetable
matter collected on the surface and along the
banks of the upper Potomac, and during the pres
ent low state Of the river exposed to the rays Of
the sun. The only possible remedy for this was
the refreshing and eopious rains Of yesterday,
which It Is thought will materially improve the
taste and condition of the water AS further
precsution, however, and as an evidence OF their
desire to leave nothing undone which will eonduee
to the health Of the city the District Commission
ers directed that all the mains should be thor
oughly flushed last night. The order was carried
out effectively by the employees Of the water de-
partment, and It is to be hoped that for some time
there will be no cause Of complaint.
