PLAN NEW MAINS
ON CHAIN BRIDGE
Arlington Will Install Larger
Pipes When Span
Is Rebuilt.
By a Stan Correspondent orThe Star.

-
ARLINGTON, Va. November g.
Arlington County will spend approxi-
mately $4,000 to install new and
larger water mains under Chain
Bridge when the structure is recon-
structed this Winter, it was learned
today from County Manager Frank
G. Hanrahan.
To replace present 8-inch mains
now overtaxed during peak loads,
either one or two 20-inch mains,
capable Of carrying 100000 gallons
Of water a day, will be installed. The
size Of the new mains will be deter
mined by District of Columbia engi-
neers, who will start a survey in a
few days.
The Chain Bridge mains carry the
county's entire water supply from the
District of Columbia reservoir across
the Potomac into mains throughout
the county, under an agreement by
which Arlington rents its water from
the District
During peak loads the two S-inch
mains now carry 100000 gallons a
day, although their normal load Is
3.50o,o00 gallons.
The larger mains will insure the
county Of an adequate water supply
for years to come and allow for future
growth of the locality, Manager Ham
rahan said.
Although funds Of the county water
department will be used for the work,
no increase In present water rates is
anticipated.
