The changing of tho water course
from what is now Murray Creek to
the proposed new ditch will, it is said,
when done. force those parties who
have been getting water fer general
use from Murray Creek, to get water
from some other source; but this may
not be the case however, for obvious
reasons. There are numerous springs
along the banks and in the bed of the
stream from which the creek is fed,
and as the ditch taps the Greek about
a mile and one-half above town, all
the springs below the point where the
ditch leaves the creek, will still fur
nish water and in the aggregate will
make quite a stream. In case the
creek were to be drained entirely,
which is not likely, an abundance Of
good water can be found at a distance
of from 15 to 20 feet from the surface
depending on the locality.
