of as pure water as can be obtained in
this section.
The committee further states in
their report nor is there any means of
adequately cleaning the reservoir" To
impractical men-such as seemed to
be on this committee-the conclusion
was exceptionally appropriate. Suffice
to say, not only a 1t be cleaned "ade-
uuately," but it can be cleaned expedi-
tiously and twice during the last six
months it has been thoroughly cleaned.
1t was cleaned the latter part of March
NOT only were the sides and bottom
swept. but scrubbed and | will state
that there was not a gallon of any for
eign matter remaining.
One reason hat it can be adequate
ly' cleaned is hat it is constructed
along the general lines used in such
constructions-sloping sides, level bot
tom. a person walk down the sides,
rendering the cleansing process excep-
tionally feasible, which has been found
by experience.
The WORK begun last year is still in
progress and when completed will en-
able the water company to guarantee
absolutely to the public a supply of as
pure water as can be obtained.
| respectfully invite any unbiased
committee to investigate the plant and
reservoir and satisfy themselves as to
condition of same.
Will also furnish, If so desired, an
analysis of water. Respectfully,
WATER SUPPLY COMPANY,
d. A. MACPHERSON, Secretary.
