PRESSURE
At MATAWAN
Borough Council Considering
Complaints of Early Morn
ing Low Water Pressure

MATAWAN, Aug. 15-One of the
big things confronting the borough
council at the present time Is that
of low water pressure in the mains
In the early hours of the morning.
For some time past complaints were
heard about the borough concern
ing this condition of affairs. but IT
was not taken up in open session
until the matter was placed before
the council at the meeting on last
Tuesday light in a communication
from the Mosaic Tile Company Of
Atlantic avenue.
The matter was then discussed
from certain angles and it was sug-
gested that superintendent of the
Water Works /. T. Rue inspect the
factories drawing water from the
borough and have them u down
on the supply they use at night so
that the water pressure will not be
so greatly reduced. Mr.. Rue said
hat the borough has a three week
Goa supply on hand and that more
was expected.
It is the general opinion about
litt pOtou6u tidi Nv why way ~
which the condition can be rene
died is to employ an additional en-
gineer at the water pumping station
who will be on duty at night to
keep steam up and start the pumps
going when the water reaches a
certain level in the standpipe. 1t is
realized that the salary of this ad-
ditional man and the operation of
the pumps at night will increase
the cost of operating the water
works, but this additional cost will
be overcome, it is claimed. by the
fact that the borough will at all
times be in position to furnish water
in case of fire, which at the pres
time. according to the low water
pressure in the early morning.
seems impossible.
The curtailing of the water used
by industries is only a temporary
measure to maintain pressure and
as soon as the coal situation be-
m a little more certain, and
more than a three weeks supply of
coal is on hand. it is likely that the
council will consider seriously en-
ploying a night engineer at the
pumping station. Many in the Dor
ough maintain that this must be
done or else a larger surplus supply
arranged for than is possible in the
present standpipe.
