Water from the Reserroir.-Water is
now being used from the new reservoir,
which is now filed TO depth of ten
feet. When the pumps are used, how
ever, the reservoir water does not get
into the pipes, as Its pressure overcomes
the water from the pumps and forces it
into the supply pipes. This was the
case yesterday, and the water being
direct from the pumps, was quite mud
dy. Hereafter the pumps will not be
operated when 1t IS designed TO fill the
supply pipes with water direct from the
reservoir,
