The RIverton and Palmyra Water Com
pany will soon erect an iron stand pipe on
Morgan Hill just north of the present
wooden tank. The new stand pipe will
be 80 feet in diameter and 70 feet in
height, and will hold about 100000 gal
Ions of water, six times as much as the
present tank. The cost of this improve
ment will be about $4,000. The contin-
ued increase in the demand for water and
the fact that the wooden tank, now 8
years old, might at any time give way
and cause water famine, made it ad-
visable for the directors to go to this ex-
pense, by which their entire plant will be
duplicated. The new reservoir will be
ten feet higher than the present one.
