The reporter took u ride yesterday
afternoon with Mr.. Smith in his auto.
mobile TO the new reservoir the Light
and Water Corporation is building ON
the hill between the two reservoirs
now in use.
Work on this reservoir has been
going on for several months. The
excavation was i'll charge of John
McFnrlane and the concrete work was
under the supervision of Mr.. F. Foveaux
of Alameda, California. Mr.. Foveaux
arrived on the 10Th of April and on the
18th the concrete work was begun.
The reservoir is 14S feet long, 50 feet
wide and has an average depth of 8
feet six inches, and is built of reinforced
concrete. Its capacity is 80, 600 gallons
Seventeen hundred and fifty sacks of
cement were used in making the $50
cubic feet of concrete used in the work.
When the reservoir is fenced and other
necessary work done, it's cost will he in
the neighborhood of $500.
The labor OH the reservoir, with the
exception of that done by one man,
whom Mr.. Foveaux brought with him,
was done by local people. The plaster.
was done by Frank Hopper. n local
nan.
This reservoir will he connected with
the one now used for town purposes and
is intended to save the water that now
overfiows and goes to waste. a pipe
with automatic valaes ut each end will
connect the reservoirs and conduct the
overflow from the one to the other.
That is when the present reservoir is
full instead of overlooking, the water
will flow back into the new reservoir.
When that is filed to o~verfiowing, the
water will flow back into the one now
i'll use. This will not only save the
water now going to waste, but will
also give the town II reserve of $40, 600
gallons to draw on III case of an
emergency.
The concrete work was completed
yesterday and Mr.. Fovcaux left this
afternoon for his home mt Alameda. He
is Il very pleasant gentleman and
thoroughly understands his line of work.
The fencing and filling in around the
reservoir remains TO be done. When
this reservoir is in use, Elko will have
