BIG RESERVOIR
DESIGNED FOR
CHARLTON, IOWA
Chariton's New Water
Works Planned by NJ. G.
Hall and Executed by
Fred ], Stewart.

Charlton, Iowa, has begun work on a
new reservoir, which will be a great
improvement to their city. M. G. Hall,
son of j. S. Hall, of Baraboo designed
the big basin from which the city is to
receive it's water supply and Fred j.
Stewart, son of Mrs. F. M. Stewart, of
BaraboO is the engineer in charge. For
several years, the city has had to rely
on wells situated in the river bottoms
This, of course, did not give the best of
satisfaction and when the city disposed
of it's light plant to private party 1T
was the unanimous choice to use the
money thus derived in supplying an up
tO-date water plant. II was decided
to construct a reservoir and "a location
was found about three miles from the
city where there was natural drain
age. At this place two ravines meet
and form basin. About S180 acres of
land with area of drainage of about
1000 acres was purchased. After q
few months what was quiet peaceful
valley flestlingin the hills, swas trans
formed into a scene of activity. and the
work is progressing in a systematic
manner.
This reservoir and plant which was
planned by M. G. Hall, civil engineer
of Centerville, is attracting much a.
tention all over the state as it is con-
sidered to be the very best to be found
anywhere. The total cost will be ap-
proximately, $4,000. The extreme
length OF the reservoir will be one
and one quarter miles. It is expected
that there will be about 120 acres of
water. The length of the dam, in
cluding spillways is $50 feet, and the
width at the base Of the dam Is $50
feet, making a capacity capable of sup
plying /, ZOO, 900 gallons of water per
day. This water is let into the pump
ing and filtering plant by means of four
intakes situated at different elevations
The flow of water in these intakes is
controlled by means of system of
valves, situated in gate house near
the center of the dam. The plant is
therefore arranged to operate auto
matically. The place is now alive with
men and teams who are engaged in
constructing the dam and pump house.
Mr.. Stewart is pushing the work as
rapidly as possible.
