out to nearby spring to secure water
for drinking and cooking purposes
He asked if this was necessary anc
If there was not some way it could
be corrected.
Mr.. Rollins thereupon referred
his questioners to E. J. Driear, 10
cal manager of the company. Mr.
Driear said the state board of health
is very strict in requiring that Ger
tain amount of chlorine be used If
the water at all times and that a
larger amount was necessary at time
of heavy rains because of the dan.
ger from run-off. He said tests OF
the water are made weekly. These
show positive before COLONIZATION
but that all tests taken from fau-
Gets in the city are negative aftel
COLONIZATION. While the use OF
chlorine is unpleasant, it is deemed
necessary to prevent any, possible
danger of the water being q source
of infection
After the meeting this matter was
discussed and it was asked if it
would be possible to locate the
source of the streams contami-
nation and remove it. 1t is possible
a testing of the stream will be done
in an attempt to locate this source
and steps taken to remove the trou-
BILE. Other means of controlling and
lessening the amount of chlorine
were also discussed.
