times as iarge-it would hold in
storage ten day supply as a re.
serve supply of water for this city
under present consumption irres-
pective of any inflow from the
pond And, it would also respond
as a compensating means to take
care automatically of any abnorml
drains during the hot summer sea-
son-by additional storage facilit-
les afforded. Also, it would un-
doubtedly postpone for some years
the laying of a new conduit
from the pond to take care of in
creased consumption of water, as
our population expanded-a condi-
ton that we must provide for
when called upon to serve 200 or
more families, at most. And we
can build such a reservoir storage
for much less money than the cost
of water-meters and water-meters

needs or economies served by an
enlarged reservoir. From an econ
omic focus, get this view point of
the value of reservoir storage.

tents to water this CITY three days

pedient within the next two years

"Our water system is a gravity
system-that means that water
starts at a high level and delivers
for consumption at lower level
requiring no mechanical means OF
expense for its delivery-luns its
self so to speak. Under such a
system, to be practical. there must
always be more water delivered
than used, or there would be a
shortage of supply. To take care
of the water delivered and not
used we have the overflow from
the reservoir-and the reservoir to
hold in storage a reserve supply,

cost more than $4,000 provided
current total cost of it did not eX-
coed 60 per cent more than the
present conduit cost. Contrast
that figure with the cost of meter
ing the whole system. including IN
stalling them, say at $4,000, and
a new reservoir twice the size OF
the present one at $9,000-which
should be provided for very soon
indeed unless new pipe line Is
laid from the pond to reservoir
and then ask yourself which OF the
three methods suggested would
supply this city and its immediate
future needs, most practically ana
economically in water service.
Having in mind that a new CON
duit would deliver as much addi-
tional water to the city a s our
present facilities do. What about
financing the proposition would
you ask? Let the water rates or
tax pay for it-cuTent surplus
from this department averages ST.
900 per year above all expenses.

value on systems using pumps IN
connection with water delivery
and where there NAV be only
limited source to draw from. For.
unquestionably they check and
conserve water consumption. But
happily, we do not fall within Ell
Their one of these limitations. The
water consumption in this city per
individual per day is sixty gallons
This is very very small con-
sumption. Assuming that meters
are installed and that they cut
consumption, to forty-fve gallons
per individual-why should there
be any excuse for such mean and
niggardly tactics. Far better for
every one concerned that citizens
may have if need be one hundred
gallons per capita. Taking figures
and cities at random unsolicited
from the pages of "Fire and Water
Engineering" magazine, seven
small cities ranging in population
from 900 to 10000 consume on an
average ITO gallons of water, per
capita. Compare that consump-
ton with our own sixty gallons.
and then advocate the adoption of
meters to cut it down to forty-five
and for what? To avoid a mu-
nicipal expense of $4,000, more
or less. that will abundantly water
this city for all purposes-and
that expense to come out of water
rates rather than the general
fund, or, to be illiberal rather
than generous in dispensing such
needy and necessary element as
water?
"If it seems advisable to adopt
water meters as general meas
ure covering all water service-a
meter rate at ten cents per thous-
and gallons would not be excessive
it would fairly parallel a family
flat rate at $12 per year. But
meter rates as adopted and sup
posed to be in force are twenty
cents per thousand gallons--scal-

family the rate is seventeen cents.
