Provo, Utah Co., Aug H.-There has
been considerable dissatisfaction among
water takers from the waterworks sys-
TEN on account of the water at times
being muddy and otherwise impure. In
order to remedy this the city has locat-
ed a number of springs in Provo can
yon, and Il Is the intention to proceed
as rapidly as possible with the work
necessary to convey the waters from
the springs into the waterworks system
and use the spring water instead Of
The river water which has heretofore
been used. When this change is made
Provo expects TO have the best water
OF any city In the state. The springs OF
which notice Of appropriation for this
purpose has been filed with the county
recorder are: All the waters of what Is
known as Lost Creek" about half
mile north OF Thayer's place all the
springs that are situated about 250
yards west OF Thayers place; Two
springs opposite what is known as Bur
beck's Hat, the springs of water flowing
across Burbeck's fiat al the old toll
gate and all the springs situated from
three 10 five hundred yards below the
power house Of the Telluride Power
Transmission company.
