GETS D. c. WATER|
Muddy Streams Cause
Change in Source Of Supply
for Suburbs.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF The Star.

EVANSVILLE, Md, July 17.-Ir-
regularity of the water supply in the
Northwest Branch and the muddiness
of the water after the frequent recent
storms has lead the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission TO again use
District Of Columbia water, it was
learned today.
Connections installed last year at
Rhode Island avenue, Mount Rainier,
and at Silver Spring are being used TO
supply nearby Maryland mains, ano the
pumping station on Georgia avenue mas
again been cut into service. L howard
Duckett. chairman OF the SANITARY
Commission. said.
AS result, about SO per cent OF the
water consumed In the sanitary district
is now coming from Washington.
The recent storms. accompanied by
heavy rains which have occurred every
day or so during the past few weeks
flood a large quantity OF water Down
the Northwest Branch for about IL
hours, but after this has gone the
streams supply becomes so low 1t
scarcely goes over the Burma Mills reser-
voir dam Chairman Duckc, Y explained.
The flood waters are muddy and con-
tain all sorts OF debris. Filtration is.
accordingly, slow and difficult. ms
commissions engineers find 1t less
troublesome" to cut in District OF Co
lumbia water than TO attempt TO inter
and serve the entire metropolitan as
trict with the storm waters, Mi. DUCK
EFT declared.
When the new plant at Burnt Mills
is completed. however, it will be able
TO handle the situa ton without aid from
Washington, according TO the chair
man.
The present arrangement by which
the suburban area is served partially
with Washington water will continue
indefinitely, it was said.
