MAY INSTALL CHECK VALVE
City Commissioners Talked Over
Plans For Pumping Wafer

The city commissioners in regular
session discussed the advisability of
installing check valve in the pipe
at Sand Springs to keep the river
water from communicating the
spring. The overflow from the spring
is piped into the river and it is
through that channel that the river
water gets in when the Smoky Hill
is high. The check valve would
permit the overflow from the spring
to pass into the river as it does now
but would keep out the river water.
They city water has been tliscolOred
and cloudy for the past three days
and the condition is said to be due
to contamination from the river.
The commissioners also discussed
plans for pumping the city water
and disposed of routine matters.
