Additional Supply of Water in
Lexington Needed

Additional Supply of Water il
: Lexington Needed
For the past week the flow o
water in Lexington has been in
terrupted by being cut off severa
times daily, in order to accumu
late reserve supply in the reser
voir. The water had run tolerably
low and the water committee OF
the Town Council, under the cir
cumstances, deemed it advisable
to restrict the daily use of water,
so that an abundant supply might
be gathered, to provide against
any contingency that might arise,
We have the information from u
reliable source that the present
condition is not due to u lack of
water furnished by the .prings
that supply the town. According
to accurate measurements and cal
culations, these springs supply an
amount sufficient for each person
in Lexington to use nearly sixty
gallons daily. AS a matter of fact,
very few persons Use that amount,
In fact, many families use less.
So the present limited supply
must be attributed to leakage or
waste. 1t is said that many n.y.
drants are out of repair, thus
occasioning large daily waste.
The time is not far distant
when an additional supply of water
will have to be secured for the
town. Within the past five years
the use of water has been largely
increased by the installation of
water closets and bath tubs in
private houses. A number of
motors are dependent upon the
power furnished by the town water
system. AT Washington and Lee
University and the Virginia Mill
tary Institute the demands are in
creasing year by year.
Several plans have been suggest
ed, and they are only suggestions.
One is to create n saving by the
use al water meters, while anoth-
er is TO get an additional supply.
These matters have been discussed
through the papers, but no salts
factory solution has been reached,
A town should always hesitate
before laying additional burdens
on the taxpayers, yet as a matter
Df comfort aud protection such
steps are sometimes necessary.
The present seems to be one al
the times when an additional sup
ply OF water should be procured.
The additional cost in taxes will
be more than compensated by the
security against fires, as well as
BY the comfort and convenience Of
having an abundance Of water.
Another consideration that en-
,ers into the subject is the possible
Increase Of insurance rates with
\ limited water supply, /
