Present Water supply
Your time will not be consumed in
an analysis Of the present water sup
ply. The fact that there is an urg-
emit demand for q better and. more
ADEQUATE supply is sufficient to elm
mate the present supply. yet 1t
would not BIO good engineering judg-
ment to reject this present supply.
q reasonable cost, 10 made one that
would meet all the requirements of
a excellent domestic supply. The
only way that the present supply
could be made to meet the require
Haonts of an excellent domestic sup
ply would be to treat the water with
ltme and soda ash to remove the
calcium carbonate. calcium sulphate
and Magnesium sulphate. In order
to determine the cost Of treating the
present supply q detailed analysis OF
the present artesian we'll has been
made. The report of the chemists
shows the tnresent Rawlins supply to
contain 176.6 grains OF solids -tper
United States gallon or IS pounds OF
salts to each 1000 gallons Of water.
