PLANS TO IMPROVE WATER
SYSTEM

The trustees Of the Augusta water
District make public the details 81
their plan to provide adequately Tor
the community's needs for water
supply. 1t appears to be a plan that
has been worked out carefully and
wisely. Well directed effort seems
to have been made to get at the
present needs, also comprehension Oh
the demands which the future VIII
make upon this system. the an
nouncement verifies the expressed
desire of the trustees to inform the
public respecting what is going on.
They view the affairs OF the Dlstrlce
"a essentially public matters con-
corning which the public should be
kept informed.
This plan contemplates new res
ervoir with a capacity Of around ten
million gallons to supplement the OLD
one, which was built in 1886. Under
existing conditions there is not on
hand in storage more than enough
water to supply the natural demands
of consumers over a period OF IA
days, or which might be exhausted
In a day in event Of a serious fire.
This reservoir is fed by only one
pipe lire. It is conceivable that
break might occur such that the wa
ter supply would be shut off for sew
eral days.
The opinion Of experts has been
obtained and is to the effect that a
dangerous situation now exists with
regard to Augustus water supply,
that there should be five-day sup
ply in storage. or enough to provide
for the demands Of 10-hour fire.
The proposed addition Of storage
capacity will be adequate and in
crease storage to 100000 gallons,
which it is thought will be ample for
future demands over a considerable
period.
Few of US, accustomed as we are
to regard our water supply as assur-
ed, comprehend the depreciation an
nually occurring in a water system.
The big pipes become encrusted on
the inside. Eight-inch pipe is the
smallest big pipe now recommended,
and even the large main is SO en-
crusted that where the water once
flowed by gravity it now has to be
pumped. A system Of management
Of a community's water supply above
any other public utility requires un-
renting attention to needs Of the
present and excellent Judgment re-
specting the future. Augusta is for
tunate In that its Water District has
commanded the service Of those re-
solved to spare no effort and who
have given freely Of valuable time
and business experience.
