The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-08-18
Are Favored by Barre City
Council to A. ~epeti-
ton of P trouble
NO S LON WAS TAKEN
AT INFORMAL MEETING
Orange Brook Water Low
cred q Inches Since
Saturday

SO much aroused has the city council
become over the threatened water short
age in the eitys reservoirs that they
called ex-Mayor N. D. Phelps, who was
superintendent when the city took over
the Goodhue system, into consultation at
an informal meeting in the city council
chambers Saturday night. Briefly stat
ed, ex-Mayor Phelps solution of the
difficulty in the future is a meter re-
quirement for every user of city water,
no matter who or for what purpose the
water is used.
The basis for his belief in the efficacy
of water in Barre is due very greatly
to the waste of city water at the pres
ent time and not simply to the use OF
the water. OF course. the possibility
of drouth is always to be reckoned with
and cannot be avoided; yet there is a
chance to avert great deal of the pinch
of the drouth by preventing the daily
waste Of water from the reservoirs.
Mr.. Phelps contended before the coun-
Gil that the city had no right to pick out
certain class of consumers of city wa
ter and insist that they install meters
while others were not compelled to do
so.
The conference continued for over two
hours, the members of the council uues-
tioning Mr.. Phelps and expressing their
opinions freely. All the council were
present with the exception of Alderman
Hoban, who was out of town, and each
one of them stated their conviction that
the placing of every consumer of city
water on the meter was the best solu-
tion Of the city's difficulty. No action
was taken, however, as the meeting was
purely informal.
Water Lowered 21 Inches in Two Days.
Superintendent Reynolds of the water
department also was called into consul
.tation to render his opinion and to give
statistics concerning the condition of tho
supply. In response to queries to-day,
Superintendent Reynolds said that from
Friday to Saturday. the water in the
Orange brook reservoir was lowered nlne
inches and that from Saturday to this
morning the water had gone down 81
inches, or an average of l012 inches per
day for the last two days. The shower
which visited this city yesterday did
not reach Orange and there wasn't as
so the city's supply there was not helped
much. Comparatively little rain fell on
the west hill. so that the reservoir and
intake there did not benefit TO any ap-
preeiabe extent.
To-day the water department ordered
all use of hose to be stopped until fur
ther notice
Health Conditions at Reservoir Good.
On Superintendent Reynolds visit to
the Orange brook reservoir Saturday, he
was accompanied by DR.. John H. Wood
ruff. the city health officer, who made
an inspection of the conditions follow
ing the extensive repairs and cleansing
made by the water department. Health
Officer Woodruff reported that the con-
ditions were excellent and he found no
fault whatever, except, of course, over
the shortage OF water. DR.. Woodrpf in
tends to visit the Bolster reservoir and
the Martin intake this week to inspect
conditions there.
