Marathon Pump Tests Continue;
Water Flow Is Expected Soon

Tests are continuing on the
pump at Marathon, naval officials
said today, and actual operation
of pumping water into the city
will start within a week.
Preparatory to the time when
the increased pressure takes place
on the water lines of the Florida
Keys Aqueduct Commission, Ern-
est Ramsey, Commission mana
ger, today called on all residents
to check their lines for any pos
sible leaks to prevent wasteage.
Chart On Leakage Losses
In an advertisement publish
ed today in The Citizen, the
Florida Keys Aqueduct Com
mission notifies residents that
future operations of the distri-
button system will be maintained
lat higher pressures than in the
past.
The Commission advises its
customers they are requested TO
inspect all lines, fixtures and cs-
Ipecially toilets for possible leaks
prior to the increase in pressure
throughout the system.
The Commission also publishes
chart showing how much leaks
in the lines can cost their Gus
toners.
Aquarium Delay Explained
Naval officials also stated to-
day that the delay in turning
over the aquarium to the city
was due to the desire of the Navy
to return the location in the same
lcondition as it was Ecctived.
Present delay is due to the in
ably. of naval officials to OBJ
tain photographs of murals there.
With such photographs the mu
rails can be repainted before the
icivic attraction is returned to the
city for use by tourists and resi-
dents.
