An iron rod is placed on the curb
stopcock of each service. and by use
of the aquaphone a flow of water, even
if slight, can be detected by sound.
The curb cock is closed where a flow
is noted. If this stops the flow the
same is evidently caused either by
waste within the house or by leak
in the service pipe on the house SIDE
of the curb cock. The leak is probably
between the main and the curb II the
flow is not stopped when the curb
cock is closed. All service pipe flow
having been accounted for or stopped,
test is made by the pitometer to de-
termine the amount of water still flow
ing into this short section of main.
Main leaks. leaking valves or unre-
corded service connections must then
be the cause of the rest of the waste.
The temperature is another decided
cause of the Increase of consumption
and waste. To prevent freeZ ng in
winter a great amount of water is al
lowed to run off and is thus wasted.
During a short period of unusual cold
in the winter of 190i-05 the consump-
ton exceeded the capacity OF the con-
duit supplying tine city, and the local
reservoirs were drawn down close 10
the danger line. However, before the
trouble reached the consumers the
weather moderated and conditions
again became normal

From its point of intake, just above
Great Falls, until il reaches the clear
basin, the water passes through a long
conduit and is received at three places
in its course by settling" reservoirs.
From the last of these il is pumped
through the filtration plant and then into
the clear water basin About fourteen
miles above the city a masonry dam has
been thrown across the river from the
Maryland to the Virginia shore. The
crest of this dam is at an elevation of
151 feet above tide level and II is at this
high point that the water enters a con-
dUit nine feet in diameter, large enough
to contain a trolley car. BY gravity it
is carried down To the Dalecarl!a reser-
Voir, located partly in the District and
partly in Maryland.
From there the conduit continues to
the Georgetown reservoir. situated near
the river bank, just west of Georgetown.
The capacity of each OF these reservoirs
is 1Jo,oo1Goo gallons. They are both
used as settling basins for the mud that
is carried by the water. so that when
the water enters the tunnel which ex-
tends to the Mcmillan Park reservoir it
has lost great deal OF its turbidity.
The water runs for four miles through
this tunnel. which is known as the Ly-
decker tunnel Il IS cut through rlck
