WOULD ADD TO PIPE LINE AND
PROTECT CITN'S INTERESTS

At the city hall Friday evening was
held a meeting of unusual import
ance in which practically every resi-
limits participated.
The object of the meeting was for
the purpose of considering t b 9
trengthening and enlarging of the
pipe line for the city of Delta, in
order that in case of breakage at GER
tain points the city might not be de-
prived of a water supply, and also to
furnish an adequate supply of do
mestic and lawn water for Garnet
mesa
The facts as represented at the
meeting, are about as follows: The
estimated capacity of the two supply
streams, the Dirty George and the
Doughspoon, 1 2.000,00e gallons
daily. From the junction of these
streams at the pressure basin, to the
reservoir a mile and a half below, tdc
water flows throug an eight inch pipe.
which frequently breaks, and as time
goes on is growing weaker. The pres-
sure basin fills to capacity, but owing
to the size of the exit pipe, can not
be carried down to the reservoir and
wastes of down the hillside.
Thus it will readily be seen that
during the summer months the supply
so far as the city is concerned, runs
low. and on Garnet mesa it is i'm
possible during many hours of the
day to get water for domestic pur-
poses. while in case of break on
this mile and half of pipe line the
city is shut off entirely.
1t was proposed at this meeting to
lay an additional s-inch pipe from the
junction of the two streams to the
reservoir which VIII 1t is said. pro-
vide for the entire 2.000.O0 gallons of
water per day. The estimated cost
of this mile and half of pipe line.
according TO Water Commissioners
Curtis will be approximately $1,000.
