 the Water company through its su- perintendent, Joseph N. McKernan. that by the end of the current week the use of the reservoir will be dis continued and for the balance of the summer the town will be supplied with water drawn from the wells in the Mountain View district. Tho flushing of pipes in preparation for the change in supply was started to- day and as result the water took on muddy appearance. This condition will prevail until the pipes are thor oughly flushed as, the operation dis turbs the sediment at the bottom of the mains and the dead ends.
 The announcement of the com pany's intention to return to the wells for tho supply will be welcomed by the townspeople as the water served during the past week has been unsatisfactory. At this season of the year the vegetable growth in the reservoir starts to ripen with the result that the water becomes nau- seating in flavor and odor.
 During the past few weeks the company has had eight additional wells sunk at the pumping station in Mountain View. Last year, especially during August, the amount of water used by the town was almost in ex- cess of the capacity of the wells and it was necessary to keep the pumps in operation part of the night. By driving extra wells this trouble, 1t is believed. will be eliminated and 1t is expected an adequate supply will be obtained during the day, the over- flow which is forced into the stand pipe on the top of the mountain serving during the night.
 Superintendent McKernan said this mrnfng that the pumps will be in operation Saturday providing the work of flushing the mains is com-
 pleted by that time. Otherwise the change in the method supply will be deferred until Monday.
