Mr.. Claude Allen, manager of the
Water and Light Works, is happy to
announce to the people of Union City
that we have a new deep we'll, fur
nishing the same kind of pure drink
ing water that came from the old
well, which ran almost dry in Deem
Der. The new well, Sal feet deep,
is only eight inches in diameter, yet
the flow of water is greater than the
old one. The old we'll, 538 feet deep
and ten inches in diameter, had a
capacity of $50 gallons an hour,
while the new we'll flows 500 gallons
an hour. The new well is now in
use and the water is said to be
equally. as fine as the old one. The
workmen are now busy locating the
trouble with the old we'll. If both
can be used Union City will have
a large supply of the finest water in
the world.
