Underflow Report
OF State Engineer
Estimate Cost Of Installing
City Water System
$102,688.00.

The report of the results of the
tests made by the state engineer in
regard to the underflow of the Neosho
valley were presented to the city
commissioners Tuesday morning.
The investigations were made by
Prof. W. G. Hoad of the State Uni
versity in company with consulting
engineers. Prof. Hoad believed that
the city OF Chanute would require
from two million to four million
gallons of water every twenty-four
hours. The engin -ers do not believe
that the underfow will furn ish 500, 900
gallons every twenty-four hours.
There has never been an underAow
over this amount southeast of Wichita
and south of the Kaw river. All at
tempts to use the underhow for city
water in this region have been
failures. The cross section of the
water bearing stratum is very small
and the average depth of the water
bearing stratum is very shallow COM
pared to the overflow of large quanti-
ties. The use of the underhow has
been tried in independence, Coffey-
vile, Augusta and Winfield and all
have been failures. Small towns such
as Erie, Altoona and LaCygne have
used the overflow successfully but the
water required by these small towns
is not to be compared with the water
required by Chanute.
In 1909 City Engineer Young, at
the orders of the city council sank 81
eight inch wells into the underflow.
Some of these wells yielded good
supply but others practically none.
These wells were pumped for periods
of several days each and few for as
long as two and three weeks. The
supply varied from nothing to 100
gallons per minute. During the dry
season the water in the wells were
not over 81 feet deep. The engineers
giving the report believe that the
supply which these wells yielded
would soon play out. The report
heartily opposes the sinking of wells
into the undeIfow as a pure waste |
of money,
The engineers recommend several
courses for the city to follow.
Among them are to erect four mil
lion gallon tlteration plant In the
site of the present pumping station,
repair present settling basins and
use as a part of the liberation plant,
use present pump house for same |
purpose In new plant, either over.
haul present boilers and put in high |
duty pumps, which can be operat ed
economically, or put in motor driven
centrifugal pumps and secure current
from the electric light plant during
periods Of light loads
To put in centrifugal pumps would
require the erection of a stand pipe
The engineers also advise the laying
of a new 16 inch water main from the
river to town and through the bust
ness district and make extensions
into the residence district.
The final recommendation of the
engineers is to over haul the present
pumping plant and buying high duty
pumps or putting in motor driven
centrifugal pumps, This recon-
mendation could of course not be
made fully until the engineers have
looked the electric light plant over.
The estimate cost of the alteration |
system, new mains, erection of stand |
pipe and the installing of the pumps |
is about s1O2,6SS.
