WATER MILKY
BUT ALL OK.

Persons in downtown office
buildings who have noticed the
milky color of city water during
the past few days need not be
alarmed.
Supt. McGregor of the water
department said Friday that the
milk-white color is caused by air
in the water. 1t is not due to an
oversupply of chlorine gas, as
many supposed.
Hood street reservoir is empty
while leaks are being repaired. As
result, low service areas are
supplied direct from the Alaska
street reservoir. There is a de-
vice at Hood street to prevent air
getting into the water, but none
at Alaska street.
The Hood reservoir will be in
service again shortly.
