FINEST WATER
SUPPLIED IN
ROCKVILLE
Modern $25o,ooo Plant
Provides los, 900 Gallons
of Water Daily

Rockville's city fathers are
justly proud of the $3.50, 900
water and sewerage system
which supplies 10000 gallons of
crystalline wafer a day and
disposes of the sewage in such
a way that there has never
been an epidemic of any kind
in the county seat of Rockville.
In fact Rockville is famed as one
of the most healthful conanuni-
ties of its size in America and
the modern and adequate water
and sewerage disposal systems
are given lot of credit for
this.
Although Originally built
thirty years ago, TIE Rockville
water works have been con-
stantly improved and modern
lied and are right up-to-date to-
day and meet all the require
ments of the community. The
pure water is pumped from four
deep wells by four powerful
motors installed and operated
by the Potomac Electric Power
Company. Purity of the water
is insured because the wells
range from 100 to $50 feet in
depth. Further safeguard against
impurity is provided by chlori-
mating the water. Mine Host
Westlake at the Dixie Tavern
says many tourists compliment
him and the town on the purity
of the water.
Rockville has reservoir of
so 900 gallon capacity and a
standpipe of $4,000 gallon capac-
ity. The standpipe has seventy
five-pound pressure, which in
sures regular flow of water
to houses located on hills most
distant from the water works.
Every house in Rockville is
provided with water and modern
plumbing.
Another giant motor pumps
the sewage to the disposal plant.
Rockville was tire first city in
Maryland to adopt this sewage
disposal system which is now
in use in many moderate sized
communities in Maryland and
other States. w. +. Disney is
superintendent Of the water
works and has been for thirty
years.
