The Kennebec Water District has
been having considerable trouble in To-
eating leak in the water main Of this
city on Main street. Last Tuesday
morning the leak was discovered and
the officers of the company were i'm
mediately notified. The basement of the
Grand Union Tea store was then flood
Ell with water to a depth Of several
inches. The leak was not located until
Friday. For several rods southwark the
surface of the pipe was laid bare which
nccessitated the removal Of the pave
.nents along the road and the cost of
a great deal of labor. on the part of
the district, and Of inconvenience to the
public. The defect was finally detected
in front of the store of w. B. Arnold

not the men been unsuccessful in find
ing It at this point, many rods more
of the pavement must have probably
been removed farther down the street.
as the task Of making the discovery
would have been attended with a grea.
deal of uncertainty. The pavements
were all laid by the middle Of Friday
afternoon and the street has once more
assumed it's usual appearance.
