caused from light water. it is impos-
sible to get butsa very small amount
of water into the water works ditch,
therefore we depend almost entirely
to the sep1lk basins,
Now Just 4 word in regard to the
system Of getting water from the
ditch to the water mains. The water
passes into the upper basin, from
there goes to the lower basin. from
there 1t is conveyed to the upper well
then to the lower well and from
there 1t passes to the pumps.
The discharge pipe from the pumps
is 22 inches in diameter, then reduces
to 90 inches, then to 16 inches in
distance OF about 100 feet

We are pumping at the present
time about 100000 gallons of water
per "a hours. which is about so per
cent more than We were two years
ago In the irrigating season. The
reason for the increase is this: We
have extended our water mains in the
past two years four blocks north on
9th street, three blocks west on
Woodlawn, one block east on Mystic,
one block east on Macon, two blocks
south on 18th. two blocks on 9th.
There have been about 1875 con-
sumers added to our list, most OF
whom have lawns, Owing to the
good work OF the Civic Improvement
League there has been quite num-
ber of lawns put In the past year.
We have one hydraulic elevator in
town and when this Is started It can
he easily noticed at the water works
by the Increased speed OF the engine.
All this has been added to our al
ready overtaxed machinery.
The present conditions cannot con-
tinue much longer with the conatant |
