Supt. TOyne Argues System
Will Conserve Supply and
Also Add to Pressure
Throughout City.

By July /, 1919. every water user
I'm south Bend will have 20 pay for
his water by measure. according 10
the resolution passed ~ the coun-
ell committee Of the whole last
night. Flat rate consumers VIII
De compelled 10 have meters in
stalled. the process OF metering TAX
ing place slowly and working by
the zone system
This action was made necessary
because of the waste of water which
Is now going on. according TO John
W. Toyne, superintendent OF the wa
ter department Although 50 per
cent Of the services have meters at
present. fully two-thirds Of the wa
ter used goes through unmetered
pipes, ne said. People who have
meters are careful Of the water they
use, while those who have the fiat
rate are very careless. he says.
4 zone including the center Of the
city. which will contain 1000 serv-
ices now using the fiat rate" will
be the first 30 be completely meter
ed. a second zone, outside the first.
including 1000 more unmetered
services, will be next. and then the
third zone will be furnished. Thus
in two years time the entire city
will be completely covered.
Began Practice 10 Years Ago.
Ten years ago the water depart
ment began the practice Of COMPEL
ing every new customer 20 use a wa
ter meter. Although the population
OF the city has increased about so
percent. the total amount of water
pumped is approximately the same
in 1916 as in 1906.
The present capacity OF the two
pumping stations is 24,00O.000 gal
ions per day. and on eight occa-
siOns recently the pumps have been
forced at full capacity lin order TO
keep up the pressure, said Toyue.
Should an abnormal demand be
made az such a time, such as would
occur in case Of fire. the department
would be absolutely pOwerless TO
furnish sufficient pressure. BY the
use of meters the waste would be
cut down. and the conservation
would not only save money. but
would increase fire protection.
Both the proposition Of compelling
everyone 70 use meters and Of re
modelling the central pumping sta
ton was discussed at the meeting
OF the committee. The remodeling
would increase the capacity Of the
plant. and so would furnish a sur
plus supply. but Of the two methods
the decision for the meters was
made because the cost would be con
siderably less. Estimates place the
cost OF the remOdeling at approx
mately $50. 900.

Mayor Explains Utility.
Mayor Fred W. Keller was pres
ent az the meeting and explained
mis- views on the subject. lie is very
much in favor Of the new move
because ne believes II necessary 10
conserve the supply and prevent
waste.
Very few utilities supplied by
private companies are now without
a complete metered service" ne
said. our local electric and gas
companies have had "A metered sys-
TEN for a number of years. The
following cities and towns i'm Indi-
ana have all. or nearly all. OF their
services metered: Fort Wayne,
Terre Haute. Mishawaka. Laporte.
Elkhart, North Liberty and Niles,
Mich.
In Unmetered service connections
a large amount OF water is wasted
from defective fixtures or by letting
water run at all times during he
summer months in order 10 obtain
cooler water or i'm winter 20 pre-
vent it from freezing i'm the PLUMB
ing or from other negligent causes.
The statistics OF our local utility
show that One-third of the pump
age for last year was delivered
through meters and approximately
two-thirds of the revenue was de-
rived from this source. Since the
introduction of the metering system
10 years ago the amount of water
used in the whole city has remained
nearly constant, although the city
has increased in population so per
cent and the number Of service con
nectiOns has increased over 80 per
cent.
Will Conserve Water.
After investigating the subject
very thoroughly 1 can most heartily
indorse the plan, which. if followed
out. will conserve our water supply
and pressure to such an extent that
the toal pumpage viii likely not be
greater than it is at the present
time for at least five years.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that our supply and pumping facilI-
ties be so conserved that the utility
affords an abundant pressure in case
of fire" he continued ''Well-regu-
lated private utilities i'm growing
cities plan for a number of years in
advance Municipally-own utilities
should be planned in the same way.
south Bend is a rapidly growing
municipality and II is our duty to
plan for It's future.
Water main extensions are being
made continually and the number of
connections are rapidly increasing
In addition TO metering our entire
service. plans should also be made
in the near future providing for the
rebuilding OF the central pumping
station"
Favor Increase i'm Pay.
The ordinance providing for an
increase in the pay OF nnemen in
the service Of the fire and police de
partments was passed fayOrably, and
an ordinance providing for an in
crease i'm the salaries of the street
commissioner and his deputy was
also taken up. The increase of $500
per year was cut in half, making
the new salaries, il the ordinance
is passed next Monday, $3.50 for
the street commissioner and $1,O50
for the deputy.
The council also ordered the board
OF safety 10 enforce the Carolina
poplar tree ordinance" which will
require that every tree OF the spe-
cies named be cut down at once.
The time for the removal OF the
trees as first provided expired June
I this year.
