NEW YoRNs WATER AERATED
Process That Purifies city's Supply
Makes Artistic Effect That
Is Striking.

The water supply of New York
city is subjected to two. aerating
processes before it reaches the con-
sumer and after leaving the Catskill
regions where it originates. At
Ashokan it isTaerated and then again
at Kensico before it enters the pipes
for distribution through the city.
The act of treating the water is
quite spectacular and is attracting
a great number of sightseers. In the
center of beautifully laid out park
there is the aerating basin covering
three acres and measuring $50 feet
in length by 240 in width at the
widest part. The floor Of this basin
is studded with nozzles arranged in
rows. There are 1000 nozzles alto
gether, and when the aerator is in
full operation each spouts a Jet of
water from fifteen to twenty feet
high. The water issues in fan
shaped, whirling fountains, which,
owing to the close spacing of the
MOBILES, intersect and break up the
water into a mass of spray. Along
the edges of the basin and at the
ends of the rows of noSzles there are
groups of nozzles, some arranged to
project taller fountain than Others,
and all being designed to produce a
very artistic effect. AS the sunlight
strikes the spray from these hum
dreds of fountains it is broken up
into rainbows. BY breaking up the
water into spray it is brought into
intimate contact with the air, which
will thus oxidize some of its impure
ties. Aeration is particularly needed
in the fall when water, standing in
lakes, is liable to acquire an unpleas-
ant taste.
