OUR WATER SUPPLY

In last weeks issue Of city papers
aupeard an illustrated article relative
TO he contamination of the city water
supply on account of the earne5S OF
location of the city dump to the
wells and the nature of the under
living gravel beds in the flats west
Of the city, and it seems only fair
to the citizens Of BroCkings that a
statement should be made in CON
nection with the original soil tests
made at the time the first well was
located and constructed.
The consulting engineers employed
at the time the plans for the water
supply system and the eve were
adopted were ICmeth and W0iff )f
Minneapolis. and Mr.. Wolff was on
the ground at the time the bOrings
were made to determine the location
Of the we'll.
Behring'S were made along what is
called college or seven mile creek
from a point about a mile northeast
of the college down to a considerable
distance south Of the railroad track,
also borings were made and the soil
examined from the river channel east
ward to the creek bed along the line
Of which the wells are located. The
tests along the creek bed did not
indicate anywhere a sufficient guam
tity Of water to warrant the location
of the we'll in the creek bottom, while
in the river bed to the west, the
water supply was abundant wherever
This in itself would indicate
two separate water basins or beds
with no ready flow of water through
the sands from one to the other.
In addition to this, all the borings
showed a bed of blue clay OF very
great but unknown thickness lying
at a depth Of from twenty to thirty
feet below the surface in both the
creek bed and the river bed, except
at a point between the present To-
Of the wells and the city dump
ing ground, and running in a di-
parallel with the creek bed
along which line the clay bed was
round to be quite near the surface
ascending rather abruptly toward
the river bed on the west and the
creek bed on the east, forming an
impenetratable barrier to the pas
of water from one basin to the
and thus preventing the pos
sible pollution of the city wells from
the 'ity dump or from cess
pools and closets in the city.
Now it IS possible that at the time
the well site was located the tests
by boring were not sufficiently thor
ough and that this danger Of water
contamination does exist, and it Is
a matter which the city authorities
should, and will. investigate at the
earliest date OF which the season will
permit. Up to the present time the
water has been entirely free from any
such contamination.
That the city dumping ground is an
eye sore, all will admit. That is
one Of the reasons for It's present
location. No farmer o land holder
wants it near him or near his premi
