Report on Princeton Water Supply.

:
Following is a report Of the SAM
tation Division Of the Minnesota State
Board Of Health, covering an analysis
of the Princeton water supply. It was
received by Superintendent ]. P. Boil
stad on September 6 and is self eex-
planatory: rs
The public water supply is obtained
from a drilled we'll $50 feet IN depth,
located at the pumping station on
Eastern avenue, between Pleasant and
Oak streets. Data relating to this
well and system are contained in re-.
ports of Investigations by this division
dated November 10, 1915, and January
10, 1917. These reports contained
recommendations for installing pro-
tectives constructionlii Elm the well pit
and for disinfecting the system.
The present investigation was made
to check up on the repairs which have
been made on the system. The OPEN
ing which existed between the drop
pipe and the well casing at the bot
tom of the we'll pit has been packed
with oakum and concrete poured
around it and over the entire bottom
Of the pit. to depth of IL inches. This
floor was made to slope toward
small stump which is provided with a
syphon for the removal of waste water
which collects there. No water was
entering the pit at the time except
little leakage from around the plung-
ers of the triplex pump. Another
syphon is provided in the pit to take
care of any excess water which might
at any time enter the pit. At the
time of this investigation the entire
system was disinfected and the mains
were flushed. The sanitary aspect Of
this supply is now satisfactory.
Analytical data: The bacteriologi-
cal examination shows the water to be
Of good sanitary quality as evidenced
the absence of the b. Coli group in 100
C.. c. amounts.
The physical examination shows a
water with moderately high turbidity,
very high color, and no odor The
ately hard water with small amount
of incrusting material.
Conclusions: The field survey shows
conditions which are satisfactory from
sanitary point of view, and in the
dI1dly IlCdl Icoul0 lllQlCdC1OLS OIL COLI
tamination are not found. Water from
this supply in its existing condition
can be considered safe for public con-
sumption. J. E. HOLT,
Engineering Assistant.
Approved: III. M. BRACKEN,
Acting Director.
It is an indisputable fact that water
coming through the pipes to the Union
office is impregnated with a disagree
able smell, but this does not emanate
from the village well-it is the fault
of non circulation. We have investi-
gated this matter and learn from an
authentic source that blind ends, where
water is left to stand in pipes and
deteriorate, is responsible. Nothing
but bad smelling water can be expected
from such q system. To keep water in
state of purity there must be aeon
tinuous fow-a constant circulation
and this cannot be effected with '.ssblind
ends as they are called. 81.
