Water Supply Of T honolulu, With
Suggestions for improvement

BY Chas. B. Cooper, M. D.

The problem of furnishing the city
Of Honolulu with purer water supply
has been question that has raised
many "a thoughtful discussion among
the government officials and the medical
profession without resulting in any def
mite action or solution. While in SAM.
tary matters Honolulu has made great
progress along scientific lines in recent
years, especially in its sewer system
and the disposition of its garbage, no
great improvement has been made in
correcting our greatest menace, the
water that is supplied to the greater
part of this city through the Nuuanu
valley reservoirs. a few years ago,
when the matter was being very active
ly agitated, the late DR.. F. r. Day
read very able paper before this so
eiety advocating strongly in favor of
a filtration plant or plants, which he
very properly argued would mitigate
to very great extent the dangers of
infection from these surface supply
waters. While there are many argu-
ments in favor of filtration as suggest
ed, there are others against it, which
we viii discuss later. The question of
using artesian water, pumped up into
reservoirs sufficiently large to hold a
good supply, has also been agitated,
and the same idea is being vigorously
advanced by Superintendent Marston
Campbell, of the Public Works Depart
ment, at the present time, and his sound
ideas on the subject, the feasibility of
the scheme at about one-half the cost
of filtration plant, the vast advantage
of daily supply of fresh artesian wa
Ter over the filtration process, and the
very obvious need of purer water sup
ply, has suggested this paper, which 1
hope you medical men will thoughtfully
consider and endorse.
Water enters into the composition, |
in greater or less proportion, of most
solid and all liquid foods, and it is the
basis of al beverages. It |
forms SIS per cent of the human body,

from which it is continuously passing
off. Water is essentially requisite II
the process of digestion and absorption
as solvent for food substances. and
it is also required for the solution OF
the various substances which have ia
be removed from the body in the ex-
eretions, especially in the urine. In
fact everything that is carried into the
circulating fluids of the body, or that
is eliminated from them, is conveyed
by the agency Of water. AS a solvent
it is Indispensable in all the functional
activities of the body. The consump-
ton of certain amount of water is
thus an absolute necessity. The guam
tity of water needed daily must neces-
sarily depend on the amount of the
loss Of this fluid which takes place by
the lungs, skin, and kidneys, and this
viii be largely determined by the
amount of work or exercise performed
by the body, as well as by the temper
ature to which it is exposed. The guam
tity required daily must also vary with
the kind of food which enters into our
diet. It has been estimated that on an
average an adult viii require daily from
two and a half to four pints of water,
or some beverage consisting almost en-
sirely of water. The purer the water
for drinking purposes the better; how
ever, most of so-eal'ed drinking water,
as derived either directly from springs
or from wells and rivers, contain dis
solved gases and mineral substances.
These often improve the favor of the
water, and give it pleasant freshness,
but an excess of mineral ingredients
detraets seriously from its solvent prop
critics.
Rain water is the purest form of
natural water, and resembles distilled
water, except that it contains whatever
soluble constituents exist in the atmos-
phere through which it has fallen, SO
that traces of ammonia and nitric acid
are generally to be found in it. IF
used for drinking purposes it needs to
be collected with great care as it ID

apt 10 dissolve any soluble substance
with which it comes in contact.
Water used fer DR. hiking purposes
should be freed from all organic i'm,
purity; most spring waters. however
although quite pure in this sense, con
cain variable amount of mineral con
stituents, especially of salts of lime
and these if abundant may detract from
the value of the water for drinking
and domestic purposes. Such water NAV
cause digestive disturbances. or promote
constipation, or may intensity any ten
deney that exists to ealeulous disorders.
Boiling the water has the effect of
greatly diminishing the hardness due
to the presence of earthly carbonates
and so rendering it more suitable as a
beverage. This it does by driving off
the carbonie acid, which is always pres
ent in spring water. and which keeps
these carbonates in solution; after boil
ing they are in part preeipitated. Boil
ing has the further advantage of de-
STR wing most organic germs.
according to Superintendent Camp.
bell the Honolulu waterworks system
is a conglomerate result of conflicting
ideas TO meet the requirements OF
grswing community without definite
plan for its future growth or increased
consumption of water The main sys-
TEN is comprised of some sixty-eight
miles of pipe lines, in many cases, with
tpt any consideration as regards class
OF aterial or sizes Of pipe as long
IS the cost came within the limit Of
spp epriations and supplied the imme-
date demand for water There are few
p.aces in the United States as happily
situated as is Honolulu as regards a
supply Of pure wholesome water with
out the necessity of filtration and It
IS unfortunate that these supplies were
cot taken into consideration when the
various parts of the system were cen
st rcted. Honolulu has both the grav-
ity and pumping systems, the gravity
water being derived from Nuuanu and
Makiki valleys and the pumping or low
level system, being that portion of the
city lying below the 160-foot level, de-
rives its water from artesian wells This
water is pumped to covered reservoirs
holding from a 1,0o0,0 900 to 1000, 900
gallons where it is protected from any
possible chance of contamination from
outside sources. This portion of the
water supply of Honolulu is unques-
