The city is busy cleaning the city
reservoir. While the lower reservoir
is being cleaned the water is allow
ed to run into only small portion
of it before making its way to the
city pipes.
The water runs thru the upper
reservoir and then thru only a small
portion of the lower reservoir. OF
course there is plenty of water as
the river is running high, but it does
not have quite as much time and
space in which to settle. Naturally
it is not quite as clear as it would
be if it had the whole reservoir ca
pacity. This cleaning of the reser.
voir is very important to the best
healty of the city and under the pres
ent arrangements it takes but few
days to do the work and then we will
have the best water for a long time
to come. The city authorities are to
be congratulated in being able to
furnish plentiful supply all the time
when the work is being done.
