PASADENA, Aug. l0.-The issue OF the
Los Angeles Investor OF August 9Th says:
''The water supply in Pasadena is run
ming very low" This statement ia I'M
true. Pasadena's water supply lie not
now nor never has been running very
low. 1t is true that for three days the
sprinklipg carts were taken of in the
eastern section OF town, but this was on
account OF changes being made in pump
ing stations. The supply OF water ls lar
superior this year to any previous dry
season, thanks to the large develop
ments at DEVILS gate. The new pump
ing station which was recently put In oy
the Lake Vineyard company below the
gate is proving q complete success and
the supply is constantly gaining in the
reservoirs. This, in the face OF the
heavy irrigating which lie going on at
present speaks louder than words for the
suf6ciency OF our water supply. The
water peopls claim that the source at
DEVILS gate will admit of unlimited in
crease BY sinking wells into the lower
strata and pumping. They claim that
there ia a heavy underhow which can be
caught in this way if necessary. This
water is what ia known ss sheet water
and the source OF supply extends back
into the Sierras many miles making 1t
practically ipexhaustible. The only
drawback to this source is the expense
necessary to get it to the top, but this
does not cut so much OF figure from
the fact that it is only once in number
of years that we get dry summer like
the present one.
