Appreciation of Plenty of Water.
The residents of Georgetown Heights this
me rning sent a communication to The Star
yoicins their appreciation of the water ser
vice Improvement. 1t recites that the thanks
of the residents Of Georgetown Heights are
due to Capt. Burr, in charge Of the water de-
partment, for his successful working out of
the problem of furnishing a full supply of
water to the highest fixtures in the houses
along Road street and vicinity.
The new 2O-nch main laid across street
bridge, from the U street pumping station to
ed street. and from thence a Pinch pipe to
18th and L streets, has enabled Capt. Burr to
cut the old reservoir at 32d and Road streets
entirely out of service, and apply direct
pressure to the highest mains, thus forcing
water up to level of 24O feet, or twenty
feet higher than the highest level permissi-
fle in the old reservoir, and obtaining ten
pounds more pressure than heretofore. Sew
eral experiments in this direction failed, but
at last the right plan was discovered The
jewellers on the high ridge, who have suffer-
ed for years from a scarcity of water, are
now happy.
