FAREWELL TO WATER PUMPS
New Supply System Viii Do Away
With Pumping Station

Pumping stations are thing of the
past in Walla Walla. The last were
discontinued this morning. Water from
the new system is now all over the city
except the territory south of Alder and
west of Park streets This portion will
be supplied with upper Mill creek ''oxy-
hydro as soon as the proper cOnnec-
tions can be made.
1t has been estimated the saving to
the city by elimination of the pumping
stations will be no less than $40 day
Or $500 a month. This includes the
salary of four men and repairs. power.
etc.
The pressure at Second and Main
streets is now but Sc pounds. This
pressure will be maintained until the
standpipe is put in when the wood
pipe will be able to stand pressure
of over 100 pounds.
Fewer mishaps than were expected
have resulted from turning the in
creased pressure into the pipes. A
dead" unused section of old main on
North PalOuse street burst yesterday
but this was soon cut off.
An amusing feature connected with
the turning in of water occurred yes
terday. The valve which connected
one of the pumping stations with the
mains was not shut off at the time
when the water was turned in. The
man in charge of the pump kept right
on pumping and was a much surprised
individual when he saw the water pour
out from the top of his standpipe. The
water from up the creek had overcome
the pumping pressure and backed up
through the pump and through the
standpipe. The operator. as he shut off
the current and valve. muttered 20
himself that: 1T was one on him..
