TExARKANA's WATER SUPPLY.
Improvements Being Made-A Much
Larger Supply of Good Water

The Texarkanian is here to print
the news, as near correct as possi-
bic. 1t is the purpose ot the pro-
prietor to always be conservative
and fair, to corporations aswell as
individuals. There seems to be
wide misconception of the water
situation in this eity-for this rea-.
son, we will endeavor to give the
true facts, as we can learn them.
Some six months since, the water
company wisely came to the conclu-
sion that more good wholesome
water was needed, so authorized
Superintendent Munson (who had
been clamorous for improvement)
authority to go ahead aud get it,
to expend between five and ten
thousands dollars for this purpose.
Since then Mr.. M. has not been idle,
and now has in the service five very
large new wells, in new district
these wells are ten inches in dame
ter, and all connected together, so
that one good pump carries water
from them into the large well or
reservoir at the pumping station,
and the big pumps there conduct
it into the regular water supply
At this time these new wells
furnish 250, gallons of whole
some water per day, as good as
comes from the original driyen
wells. With this big increase of
water, there should be no scarcity
for household use, or the general
business of the company. for rail
roads, etc.
For fire protection there is a
large lake just above the pumping
station, capacity 100000 gallons,
enough to fight fire for about three
days. 1t is kept full of water from
the deep well, which contains some
alum and salt, and is not used at all,
except for fire protection. For few
hours after fires, the mains contain
this bad tasting water, but it soon
passes out, and the regular water
which is extra good, takes its place.
Mr.. Munson informs us that good
water pressure for fighting fires can
be given at any time, in a few
minutes after notified that it is
wanted. In this connection he
showed us letter from Manager
H. B. Carter os the Cooperage Co.,
thanking the Water Company for
splendid pressure given, which en-
abled the fire laddies to quickly put
out fire over on Rose Hill, and loss
was kept down to the minimum
this letter came without solicitation,
in remitting for water for last
month.
We are glad to be able to chronicle
the fact that great improvements
are still going on in our water works
system, and it will be still enlarged
more big wells are being provided,
to still increase the supply.
Let us remember that the Water
Company deserves some considera-
tion and fair Observation-Disclosures.
ing that it is not to blame for every
mistake. Also let us congratulate
ourselves that we can get far better
water, and more of it, than many Of
our neighboring cities.
