The Imminent Water Famfne in the City
 nH

of Brass.
 WATERBURY, Conn, Nov. 15.-A water famine has stared Waterbury in the face dur ing the past few weeks. owing to the low condition of the city reservoir, which now contains but few feet of water. The sup ply of the factories was cut of @ day or two ago, since which time it has been possible to maintain the average depth of the reservoir at one point. But should 8 fire or a break in the main occur the supply would soon be consumed. To meet coming emergencies workmen have been employed for the past few days in constructing 8 small reservoir on what is known as Mad river, into which 8 part of the stream can be turned, while six inch pipes are being laid to connect it with the main pipe which brings the water to the city from East mountain. By this arrange ment stream of pure water will be forced into the main during the day, or when the drain is the heaviest, while at other times 1t will set back into the reservoir. There is also scheme on foot to permanently increase the city water service and engineers have been making researches about the country for the purpose of locating new reservoir. The city is fast outgrowing it's present water ser vice, and the supply will soon require donb- i ling.
