gallons of the purified water
during the first year. The
plant was constructed with
WPA labor and the work began
Monday, August IS, 1888. In the
construction of the plant-a
$4,000 project-the village of
Caldwell furnished $5,568 for
labor and purchased $19,206
worth of materials for use in
construction. The total cost to the
city amounted to $24,774.
The federal government,
through the WPA projects, so
prevalent during the pre-War
days, spent $36,265 for labor on
the plant and purchased $4,6l3
in materials. The federal govern
ment's grant of $40,878 for the
project almost doubled the
amount spent by the city.
Business Grows
The volume of business trans
acted by the local water plant
has grown steadily since the
plant was opened on April l.,
1889. Last year, from January l,
l948 to December 80, 1948, con-
sumers used 81,378,000 gallons of
water for the highest total yet.
This was 3,378,000 more gallons
than was used during 1947.
The plants records show the
following monthly consumption
during 1948: January - 6,264
gallons; February 5,522;
March - 6,O66; April - 6,552;
May - 6,974; June - 1924; July
- $3.50; August - 8,1l8; Sep
tember - 1894; October - $50;
November - 6,026; December
5,778.
Plant Growth
Figures showing the plants
growth through water consump-
ton during the past ten years
are as follows: April, 1889, to
March 1910, 2,4OO,0OO gallons per
month or 28,80O,000 annually;
April, 1910, to March, 1941,
100000 per month or 32,400,000
| annually; April, 1941 to March,
1912, 100000 per month or &c.
100000 gallons annually; April,
1912, to March, 1943, 3,500,00O
per month or 100000 annually;
April, 1943, to March, 1914, g.

March, 1916, 100000 per month
or 100000 annually; April
1916, to March, 1947, 6,500,00C
per month or 100000 annually
Closely Allied
The local water plant and the
electric light plant, located ir
the same building, have been
closely allied during the past ter
years and until water rates
were raised about a year ago the
water plant had failed to make
money. This was offset, how
ever, by the profit realized from
the sale of power by the city
owned light plant.
Rates Raised
The board of public affairs last
year raised all water rates with
the commercial users paying the
largest share of the raise. Under
the new setup the minimum
charge is $3.50 per month and
entities the consumer to 1900
gallons of water. The next 4,00C
gallons cost 80 cents per thous-
and; 20 cents per thousand is
charged from 5000 to $4,000
from $4,000 to $4,000, the rate is
ten cents and all over $4,000 ur
