Why Is the Water in Cairo Muddy
TALK No. 9
AT Times?
.---------,--z..
Continued

Our talk of yesterday and the day
before explained why the water is turbid
or muddy at times. The modern method
of sterlizine water, for which the Cairo
plant is equipped makes it possible to
sterlize turbid water lust the same as
clear water For this reason it does not
mean that when water is slightly turbid
it is unsafe for drinking purposes. From
the standpoint of safety, Cairo's water
comes up to any standard.
Filtering equipment is very expen-
sive. The present filter plant in Cairo
the very best known the science when it
was originally constructed, but since that
time a number of improvements have
been discovered
The general type to which Cairo's
plan belongs is however still the best
known. The water company desires to
greatly enlarge and improve the filter
plant, which will give clear and limpid
water at all times, but this cannot be done
until funds can be raised. The franchise
extension which is now being prepared
by the city will enable the company to
raise the funds to make this Improvement
in Cairo.
The water company wants to give
The very best service possible, but it can
not do the impossible. Until funds can
be raised the proposed investment cannot
be made.
