Ccrdovo Is Out of Wafer For 2nd Time This Year

Cordova is ''dry" town for the second time this winter. Water supplies in the city reservoir have been exhausted, and all city water is now pumped to Cordova mains from a nearby lake. Cordova dwellers are warned to boil all drinking water.
 Engineers estimate that it will take a month for rainfall to build a water surplus in the Cordova reservoir again. Cordovans daily are scanning cloudless skies, and keeping their fingers crossed at the mere mention of the. word fire.

 Dr. Bailey also urges that other preventive measures be Taken. Drinking water from wells should be boiled. he warns. Great care should be exercised in the handling of food. to avoid contamination. and proper refrigerative and preservative measures should be taken.
 In addition, all waste materials as garbage, open sewers and out houses, should be sterilized, the doctor said.

vestment in sanitary and
water supply facilities in these
three towns, whether it is re-
cognized or not, impose a
civic responsibility from the
standpoint Of securing house
connections to the system and
maintenance of the plant. This
will determine the practical
value of the investment and
whether or not the taxpayers
money is being wasted. The
key to the situation is person
mel: plumbers, mechanics. In
asmuch as the problem is
mainly simple and specific.
the required personnel may
be obtained from the youth of
the local population after a
short period Of training and
apprenticeship.
When it is borne in mind
that there are between 5000
and 5000 house connections
for sewer and water, that

gendered hostilities and dislike

The population of the Vir-
gin Islands is comparatively
small. st. Thomas, the center
of commerce and government
with an area of IS square
miles, has a population of H.
265; st. Croix, the largest of
the islands, an agricultural
community with an area of "a
square miles, has a population
of 1902, and st. John, prin-
cipally devoted to recreation,
has an area of 20 square miles
and a population Of 772.
There are three urban areas:
Charlotte Amalie with a popu-
lation of 1901 and an area of
81 square miles on st. Thorn.
as; Christiansted, population
4,495, area 90 square miles on
st. Croix and Frederiksted,
population 2,498 and an area Of
.13 square miles on st. Croix.
For some years these three
towns have had a medium of
public improvements includ-
ing water and sever facilities.
The water supply is a dual
system. Water for drinking
purposes is taken from roofs,
catchments and a few wells,
and that for fire-fighting and
toilet flushing from the ocean.
With installation of the new
public improvements, the dual
ity of the system will be fur
ther emphasized because Of the
parallel existence of 42.3 miles
Of salt water mains in the
streets Of the municipalities.
The almost total absence Of
, 1950-02-04

water-baring gravel, and the
existence of an impervious soil
practically precludes ground
water in St. Thomas. The Is
land Of St. Croix is more for
tunate in that a sufficient sup
ply of potable water for both
Christiansted g. Frederiksted
will be drawn from six wells
drilled in the country districts.
Both the sewer and water
system Of st. Thomas and st,
Croix are being expanded and
improved. In the present sys-
tenn, sanitary sewage is ham
died by laterals emptying into
and communicating the harbor
waters, by cesspools or by no
xious night soil collection sys-
tenn. There are no storm water
sewers, but open bitches and
CUTS emptying into the ocean.
Thes CUTS often become fouled
and contaminated by garbage
and human focal matter which
emit offensive odors.
The improvements which
are being made include inter
cepting sewers and a lift sta
ton by which all sewage is
conducted through a submerg-
ed outfall to a safe distance
out into the ocean. The addi-
tional salt water lines, pumps
and tanks provide needed fire
protection and water for tot
lets, ditch and gut flushing.
The procurement and distribu-
ton Of drinking water through
water mains is entirely new
feature in the public improve
ment picture.
