SEDIMENT AT BOTTOM
OF WATER RESERVOIR
Discovery of Accommodations
Amounting to Nearly
1000, 900 Cubic Feet.

Nearly 1000 O0o cubic feet of dirt has
settled on the bottom Of the Georgetown
reservoir. This fact has become known
through the draining of the big storage
and sedimentation basin preparatory to
the building Of dam across its north
section by the Washington aqueduct Of
fee.
The reservoir, which has q capacity of
approximately 10000. 600 gallons, is now
almost completely dry, and work on the
improvements planned has begun. While
the reservoir is out of commission the
Lydecker tunnel will catch the bulk Of
the sediment.
Accommodations Of Years.
For years this sediment has been COL
lectins in the reservoir until 1t has made
a floor a foot thick. As the dirt is packed
hard. and as the basin had only an earth
bottom to start with, 1T Is not planned to
remove any of the sediment.
The building of the dam from the mid
die section to the north end of the reser-
voir is for the purpose of diverting water
received from the river into one portion
Of the basin. This section will be given
with a 4S-inch pipe leading to the river.
The arrangement, 1t is anticipated. will
result in the bulk Of the sediment
brought into the basin being deposited
in the section referred to and carried
back to the river through the 4s-inch
drain pipe. Thus, the amount Of dirt
that gradually will settle over the entire
basin will be much less than in the past.
Require Year to Complete.
It is probable that the improvements.
which are to cost approximately SOS, 900,
will not be completed for a year. The
southern section OF the reservoir, II is
announced, will be in operation practi-
cally all Of that time.
Plans are to be prepared at once in the
off1ce of the water department of the
District, 1t was announced today, for the
construction of a ten-thousand-do
pumping station on Minnesota avenue
near 2Sth street southeast, to supply
water to the high ground in the vicinity
OF Good Hope and increase the water
pressure around Congress Heights. The
plans will be prepared under the direction
Of Supt. w. A. Mcfarland of the water
department. 1t is expected the station
will be in operation before winter.
