AMERICUS WATER
EXCELLENT
IN QUALITY
Full Report is Furnished By
State Chemist
States That City'S Wafer Contains No
Impurities and is Excellent In
Quality. Report of Analyst Should
Be Quite Assuring to People Here.

Americus' water supply is not only
abundant in quantity, but is of very
excellent quality as we'll, a pleasing
fact disclosed in the official report
of the state chemist, after that officia;
has made thorough tests of samples
of artesian water, sent him for anal
ysis by Supt. John B. Ansley, of the
waterworks department. ,
Plenty of water, and pure drinking
water is the assurance given Ameri-
Gus by that high authority, after q
thorough investigation.
The following letter and attractire
report was received yesterday by
Supt. Ansley, and is herewith publish
ell in full, than any lingering doubt
regarding the cityis water supply
might be quickly dispelled.
Georgia State Board of Health,
Office of the Secretary.
Atlanta Ga, Nov. 23rd, 1910.
Mr. B. Ansley, Supt. Americus Wa
ter Works, Americus, Ga.
My Dear Sir: | enclose results Of
examination of specimens of waited
sent to us. AS stated in the notes OF
our chemist the analyses Indicate thai
your water is of excellent character
and l see no reason why you should
not consider it in every way fit TO!
drinking purposes. Yours truly,

Report of State Analyst.
Report on Americus, Ga, Water Sup
ply, Nov. 21st, 1910.
Samples Nos. 81, So, 50, 70, 76, II, 1Ot
1O2, 12S, and 129.
The analyses of these samples, col
lected between Sept. 1st and Nov. 18th
shows the water supply of Americus
to be pure and wholesome, there be-
ing practically no evidence of contain
ination in any of the samples exam
ined
There were no excessive bacterial
counts, except in cases of No So, anG
samples may have been accidentally
contaminated at the time of collection
In only one of the samples, No. 81,
were gas-forming bacteria found, the
remaining samples showing no gas
production whatever.
Looking at the chemical analyses
we find that all these samples could
be classed as pure waters.
Most of them contain a small
amount of iron, which is of no i'm
portance from a standpoint of health
bpt is, probably the cause of the slight
est turbidity or milkiness noticed in
every sample except No. 81. which
was taken from the springs.
This sample also had practically NJ
allalinity, or temporary hardness, and
these facts show that both the iron
and alkalinity in the hydrant samples
tall except No. SD are derived from
the we'll water.
No analysis of the Well water, be-
tore It's mixture with the spring wa
ter was made, but judging from the
analysis of the mixed or hydrant sam
PIES, we would say that in case the
we'll water alone was ever used, the
amount of iron might be objectiona-
bly, high.
In general the results show a very
satisfactory water for a public sup
ply. RAY c. WERNER,
