Norwich bulletin., 1910-11-23

Having reached a depth considera- ply below where a test was made pre- viously, Superintendent Corkery stat ed on Tuesday that it is intended to make test at both the wells at Meadow brook today. The first well is down about 400 feet and the second we'll about 100 feet The last test showed the first we'll able to deliver by pumping about 25 gallons min ute and 1t is expected it will do bet ter now. There is considerable water will deliver is not known.
 FaifV1eW reservoir dropped two inches on Tuesday, being at 332 inches below high water, while at Mohegan lake the drop was about an inch and a half. There were no complaints re- ceived at the water office on Tuesday that water could not be secured, ex- cept from the residents of the hill at Sunnyside, which wes because of the lack of pressure. The pressure in the center of the city has returned to be- tween 60 and 70 pounds. Notice was given the New Haven road on Tues day that the water from the city will be discontinued for their use and hereafter they will take what is need ed here from a temporary station at Greenevilie.
 River Water for Fire Cisterns
 On Tuesday afternoon Chief Stan ton took Engine No. 1 to the munich pal wharf, where water was draught- ed from the river and used to fill A number of the fire cisterns about the center of the city. To do this it was necessary to lay about 1,200 feet of hose, and for time the car service at Franklin square was interrupted though the filing of the cisterns which interfered with this was timed so as to ttf on several trips the pipe line was opened
 The cisterns in Fra nkiin square, Un- ion square. in front of the Wauregan house, and in front of Holloways store were all filled each holding about 5000 gallons. Today the big cistern in Thames square will be filled with 7,500 gallons of water and the one in front of Ha skelTs coal office will also be filled, the steamer to be stationed near the Industrial building
 After filling the Union square cis- tern stream was tried in the square with an inch and one eighth nozzle which worked fairly well considering the distance. Chief Stanton thinks that one of the cisterns would last only about ten minutes with a steam CT 0raughting therefrom, but this would do much good, unless the fire had tremendo'fs start when, by re-
 
 flied as fast as draughted. The cis- terms were for the most part built to hold about 5000 gallons, but because of the raising of the street in Thames square several times that cistern has been increased in height, making it much larger The auto is stationed in the central station to respond to all calls where chemicals would be of any help.
