CLEARLY RIVER WATER
New System Installed at Council Bluffs
Excels All Others - Water Carried
Thru Subsidiary Basins and All Mud
and Silt Renovsd

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs May l1-This city is
pro badly the only municipality using
water from the Missouri river for
domestic purposes that has its water
delivered thru the mains clear as the
best. This unusual condition has just
recently been accomplished by the
Council Bluffs municipal water plant,
and altho at this season of the year
the river water is the hardest to
clearly the new plant owned by the
city is performing It's work perfectly.
The novelty of such thing has hit
the public with much force. Missouri
river water. while regarded always as
about the purest there is. next TO
spring water, the presence of so much
sand in the river renders il almost i'm
possible Of clearification. The result
nOX' observed is achieved from the OPP
GRAFTON OF new system OF subsidiary
basins where practically: all CT the mud
and silt is deposited before the water
enters the mains These basins are
located on the river bank and the first
basin into which the water is pumped
direct nearly 80 per cent OF the mud is
precipitated. This basin. which con-
tains twenty-five feet of water was
drained yesterday and was found to
contain ten feet Of mud. A twenty
four inch valve was opened and all the
mud was quickly washed back into the
river
The water at the pumping station
flows in a thin sheet over a WALL where
it is also chemically treated After
passing over this wall ii empties into
another basin of greater capacity

by gravity nearly one mile into the

it IS pumped over the city. The Won
