PREPARING FOR
AN ADDITIONAL
WATER SUPPLY
Test Well is Being Sunk on Lum-
ber Company's Land to the
South of the City.

test we'll is being sunk by the water
and light department Of the city Of Virginia
on the Virginia & Rainy Lake Lumber
company's forty just south of the Williams
addition for the purpose Of exploring the
available water supply in case of short
age in the citys supply. The shaft is already
down more than 80 feet and in an abundant
flow of water. When the shaft gets down to
the gravel bed, casing will be driven and all
preparations made for pumping.
When the we'll is developed it is planned to
construct concrete wall about the we'll
down as far as the clay formation. In this
manner it is believed possible to keep all
surface water out of the we'll.
The shaft being sunk is regular mining
shaft. This kind of a shaft is being used
in order to facilitate the installation of the
pumps when the we'll is completed.
Present Indications are that in 10 days the
we'll will be in condition to make q test and
determine the quantity and quality of the
water.
The city's water supply has materially
lessened during the past few years. This il
due in part to the extension of the mains
and the increasing patronage and to the fact
that the wells are not running a. strong as
few years ago. The we'll now being de-
veloped is believed necessary by the water
and light department to make up the water
