Overtoxed City Water System

The current drought, with its increased de-
mands on WaShingtons water supply, provides a
supporting argument for the Water Departments
plan for new Potomac dam to avert recurring
threats of serious local water shortage There
Is still plenty of water in the Potomac River for
all of the city's needs now and in the foreseeable
future, but the facilities for diverting the flow
into the impounding reservoirs are inadequate.
A new dam is imperative officials say if the Ma
tions Capital is to be assured of enough water in
periods of emergency consumption. That is why
the Washington Aqueduct is asking SIS million
in fiscal 1858 for a start on the long projected
new feeder dam near Little Falls.
At present the water system has raw-water
supply of about ZIG million gallons day, yet
consumption during peak periods in warm wealth
er frequently goes as high as 24O million gall
Ions day This means that the storage supply
in the reservoirs is the only cushion between the
public and water shortage that could have dis
astrous effects During the summer the system
draws water, an emergency measure, from the
old Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, which is fed by
an old feeder dam in the Potomac. The canal is
not dependable source of supply, however. 1t
has broken through its banks on several occasions
in past years, drying up this additional source
Of raw water until repairs could be made.
Complicating the supply problem is the ever
increasing use of water for air-conditioning of
new Office buildings and apartments. Water con-
sumption is rising an average of million gallons
a year. This growing demand calls for prompt
steps to increase the flow of raw water into the
citys storage reservoirs and mains. The remedial
plan is for construction of low concrete dam
across the river short distance above Chain
Bridge, with a pumping station and conduit to
reservoirs on the District side of the river. The
original estimated cost of this project was about
ST million, but rising prices likely to force a
revision upward of this estimate For next year,
however, only enough money has been requested
to make start on the project. Additional funds
are being sought for completion of the Dalecarlia
pumping station and for storage facilities
and other improvements.
All are included in 10-year expansion pro-
gram approved by Congress, to be financed in
part by Federal loans Granting that new
construction of any sort should be held down as
much as possible during the present defense
program the projects to increase Washington's
water supply have an urgency that can be
ignored only at the risk of an emergency that
could cripple Government operations in a
critical period
