Commissioner Carter Says
Useless MOnkeyings With
Water Supply Wasted
Thousands of Gallons

today that the water had all been
drained from Blue Hole" on Rick-

was opened and while for the time be.

lone to the city's supply, the creek Is
now running through In the same
condition that 1t is In other places,
and he anticipates no very material
change in the Hickory creek supply
until the fall rains begin and the
stream again flows
Brief History of Line
Mr.. Carter gives some interesting
figures on the pipeline from the date
of its opening 10 the present, and
while he does not claim that the
figures are absolutely correct, says
they are so close to it that there is
little room for argument.
Initial Flow 100000 Gallons
He says that the pipeline was for.
mally opened about April 18th, and
at the time began an initial flow
Of 100000 gallons per day. This
was half a million gallons more than
wa expected Of the pipeline, but the
creek was flowing freely at the time,
and he contends would nave contn.
ued to flow at that rate had It been
left alone.
Line Broken by Test
But shortly after water began to
run through the line a test was made
that resulted in the line being broken,
and a week to make the necessary
repairs and get the water flowing
once more. In all five tests were
made with like results and he figures
that 35 days were lost in testing and
repairing the line at q time when If
left alone, IL would have supplied
water enough for Ardmore's, use
and added half a million gallons daily
TO the lake as we'll
Big Water Loss Entailed
Carter's figures show that in all
there was lost to the city through
} the line in the 81 days II was out of
commission. $4,000 600 gallon Of wa.
ter added to this loss was the amount
pumped from the lake which was
approximately 100000 gallons daily
! or $4,000 900 gallons. The city. as a
result, is looser by S7,OOO,OOO gallons
or more than enough to last Ardmore
during the months Of July and Aug.
ust.
Who Was Responsible?
Mr.. Carter says he makes this
statement merely to show that II the
line had been left alone when it
wa performing 5 per cent better
than ever was contemplated by the
contractors or the city officials. Ard
more would not be facing the water
crisis 1t Is today.
Continuing, Mr. Carter said he felt
that the crisis has been met and
that the emergency supply to be
secured from Chickasaw lake will
tide over until Hickory creek again
supplies its normal Gail amount OF
water.
