The pumping station on West river was
in operation last Friday for the first time,
and the water in the reservoir is now ris-
ing seven or eight inches each day. The
pump at the station is the Deane Duplex
which was used on Milestone brook, and
has a capacity of 100000 gallons each "a
hours, but it is now in operation only
about II hours a day. The station is a
wooden building 20 by % feet in size, one
story high, with a stone foundation. 1t is
on the bank of the river, south of the Weld
place, the water being taken from the deep
hole at depth of about II feet. A YER
tical boiler of 70 horse power is used. The
water is forced a mile and half through
the six inch pipe TO the reservoir. There
are three gates, so that in cold weather
when the pump is not running the water
can be discharged into the river, thus pre-
venting trouble from freezing The water
in West river is clear, and of better quality
than that which has been taken from
Milestone brook. The original supply for
the reservoir from the springs will be con-
tinued, with the exception of that from
near the Samuel Sargent place in West
BrattlebOrO. e. ID. Warren, jr., has charge
of the pumping station.
