WATER PRESSURE
BREAKS PIPES
In Consequence Mr.. Lessen
Says New Mains May Have
to be Laid

AS a result Of the high water pres
sure brought about by the opening of
the new Porter reservoir on McKee's
Hill, city water pipes have been found
unequal to Withstand the task and
have bursted in various sections Of the
city.
Places where pipes have broken be-
cause of the increased pressure have
been at Delaware avenue and Tatnall
streets, Delaware avenue and West
streets, and at Ninth and Market
streets.
The new Porter reservoir is about As
feet hifher than the Rodney street re-
servoir and the water flows by gravi-
tation to the heart of the city at a
pressure of from 80 to 50 pounds to
the square inch. This pressure has
been a great strain on many /of the
old iron service pipes and the leaks
