Water Company Can Introduce Supply
from the Patapsco.-On Wednesday the
tions upon the Baltimore County Water and
Electric Company which prevented it from
bringing water in pipes from its source of sup
ply at Avalon, on the Patapsco river, to Tow
son. This action was taken as the result of a
petition of Towson people, although there are
some residents of the town who protested bit
terly against the restrictions being removed, as
Towson now has an artesian we'll supply.
The Commissioners, however, after taking
everything into consideration, decided in favor
of the Water Company, provided the latter will
agree to have the water examined chemically
at least three times year. 1t is understood
these terms are satisfactory to the company.
On the other hand, there is considerable op.
position to the granting of the concession to the
company, and it is probable there will be an
appeal to the Circuit Court.
The Commissioners filed written decision
in the matter, which is in part as follows:
The Commissioners after carefully investi-
eating the facts and circumstances relating
thereto have come to the conclusion that there
is no longer any valid reason for denying to
the citizens of Towson and the surrounding
country, and especially those who are entirely
without water, the privilege of obtaining water
from some other source than the artesian well
That the water derived from this we'll is not
now sufficient to supply the requirements of
Towson and vicinity is apparent from facts
ascertained from the statements made at the
hearing and from our own investigations, and
in regard to which there seems to be no dispute.
The Commissioners further state that the re-
suit of the test made by the expert employed
by the Towson Improvement Association
shows 30 gallons per minute. Therefore it is
stated that if this well supply is only relied on
"a5out 400 houses in the restricted area would
be altogether deprived of water, which would
be manifest hardship upon those who have
no other way of getting water" It is stated
that those residents of the restricted area who
specially object to using the Avalon water for
drinking purposes have an opportunity of or
ganiZing company and leasing the A1gburth
we'll plant or ofdigging other wells and furnish
ing themselves with artesian water.
The Commissioners also state that Towson is
in danger of great damage by fire owing to a re-
strcted water supply. I'VE have therefore
concluded, in order to prevent serious hardship
and injustice to any citizens in the restricted
area and their families, that it is imperative
upon us, our duty in the premises, to remove
the restrictions heretofore imposed"
The Commissioners propose to pass formal
order removing the restrictions, to take effect
the first day of June, 1903.
