Caldwell's Water Supply.

The water supply at Caldwell
is much larger than at first sup
posed. The old we'll is sixty feet
deep and twenty-five feet in
diameter and the artesian well
was bored in the bottom of this.
The large we'll has been filled
full and the surplus water runs
off through a waste pipe. A
strainer is to be placed in the
well as soon as possible and a
million gallons per day are ex-
pected then. At present the
supply is about 100000 per day.
The quicksand prevents a full
flow and a strainer is to be put in
to remedy this. The quality of
the water is excellent and every
body in Caldwell is rejoicing over
such an abundance of it.
