AIR-LIFT WATER SYSTEM.

The city of Tacoma recently made an
official test of the air-lift system of
supplying water from wells sunk at
South Tacoma. The test proved highly
satisfactory and it is predicted that
henceforth the city's water supply Will
domestic and commercial, without any
Inconvenience to consumers.
According to estimates furnished by
the contractor, which were practically
confirmed when the three wells We're
tested some time ago, the new wells
will yield about 100000 gallons a day,
the wells being operated by duplex air
cOmpressors operated by electricity.
The commissioner of public works has
recommended that another well be
sunk, adding from 100000 to 100000
view of the fact that the machinery
used in the operation of the three wells
is of sufficient power to operate an
other we'll, a fourth will will be au-
thOrized. The water in the wells is
seepage from the SHOWS of Mount Ia
coma and is filtered through the gravel
until it reaches the city.
This plan of getting water from wells
by an air-lift compressor system was
proposed by Councilman Williams last
year, but it was not given the atten-
ton that it should have received from
the council. The success of the plan at
Tacoma proves that it is not a vision
airy scheme but a demonstrated fact
1t might be worth the while of the
present city council to investigate the
working of the new system in Tacoma
one air-lift pump can be made to
operate four or five wells and two such
pumps would supply all the water
needed by this city.
