Yesterday the board Of directors
went out to look over the grounds, cspe-
cially to inspect the water works. This
is n feature OF the place worthy of spe-
cial attention. The water has been
analysed by DR.. Laken, OF the City Hos.
pital, and he pronounced it free from all
Impurities. and a most excellent water.
Col. William P. Thompson, VIII en- here
recently, gave it us his opinion that it
wal equal to the celebrated Poland
water, which is very popular for table
use in Europe.
All residents in the valley that have
the water piped to their residences on
press the highest opinions OF the excel
lenco ana etliciencyof the service afford
ed, and the convenience it gives. 1t is
said to be superior to the city service on
account OF the stronger pressure.
The two large tanks are located
on top of the hill, and have q
capacity Of 10000 gallons each, and can
be pumped full in six hours. Henry
Weisgerber, the superintendent, was
formerly in the city water works. He
speaks highly OF the working OF the
machinery. The engines were made by
the Dean Steam Pump company, OF
Holyoke, Mass. There is a register at
tached, recording every stroke OF the
engine and indicating tho amount of
water pumped. The tanks only have
to ba pumped full every few days. Two
large boilers, built ten feet above the
engines, furnish the steam. The water
is drawn from q well thirty-iive feet
deep and ten feet and six inches in
diameter, extending out in q tunnel six
feet below the bed OF the, creek and
covered over with loose stone.
The building is OF galvanized iron,
with brick foundations. and complete in
every particular in the interior. Pipe
is laid out the pike as lar is L. NJ. Pear
sons residence, and all through Leath-
erwood, and they are now laying pipes
through the new addition at Woodsdale.
This was started last Monday.
The engine used has the same capac.
ity as the engines used to furnish water
to the city thirteen years ago, before the
Warrington pumps were bought.
Fire plugs are located at convenient
distances along the pipe line, for fire
protection, and havc%a pressure sutici-
ent to throw u stream we the tallest
residence in the valley.
