LAID WATER PIPE BARE.
About 300 Loads of Dirt Were Washed
Out at Orange Reservoir.

Practically the only damage to Barre 9
city water system from the food Of
Sunday, was at the Orange brook reser-
yoir. where about 800 loads of dirt were
washed out from under the main pipe
leading from the dam, the water gOug-
ing the dirt 50 deeply that a man can
walk upright beneath the huge pipe.
The damage was due to the failure Of
the spillway to carry off the great vol
ume of water which was poured into it.
That the water pipe was not damaged
was due TO the fact that the pipe rest
ed on solid supports, thus preventing it
from sagging and breaking apart. The
dam itself was not damaged in the
least, reports Water Supt Reynolds;
and it holds its 100000 gallons Of wa
ter as securely as ever. The reservoir
has been running full good share OF
the time this winter, the supply holding
mp well.
The work of reflling under the pipe
cannot be started until the high water
reeedes. 1t will probably cost $500 to
repair the damage. Aside from this.
the city was fortunate, as there We're
no breaks in the mains. A small leak
i'll water connection on Elm street
was about the only other damage. The
water poured from this leak into the
street; but the hole was soon plugged
up.
