CLOGGED UP BY SEDIMENT
Flow Of Water In City Mains Restrict.
ed by SedimentatIon and lncrusta-
ton Taking Place Within.

1t has only recently been observed
that the efficiency of the flow of water
In city's main Is very much restrict
ed by the sedimentation which takes
place In them. Because of the slow
ness with which these deposits occur, !
1t is not readily noticeable, but the diff
ference is quickly discernible by max
ing note of the character of the stream
issuing therefrom before and after
cleaning. In the case Of an eight-inch
main in Camden, N j., the capacity was
found to have been cut down to less
than one-Quarter. Another illustration
may be derived from the experience
Of Belle PLANE, Ia. Here cast iron
water pipe nearly mile long and six
inches in diameter had a capacity
when clean of 335 gallons a minute,
with pressure of 60 pounds. This
pipe became so clogged that a press.
ure Of 125 pounds was necessary in or.
der to deliver 24s gallons a minute.
There are several mechanical means
of accomplishing this task. One con.
sists Of nine-foot device which is
placed in the pipe and sent along by
pressure behind it, and as it moves the
deposit is cut by the many revolving
knives OF which 1t is made. A flow of
water is maintained and the released
material is washed away as it is de-
tached.
