Wafer Consumption
In Village Increases
First Seven Months
$3.50 900 More GoIIons
Consumed Over 1854;
July Tops Ali Months

For the first seven months of
1855, Caldwell has used approx
mately 3,889,O00 more gallons of
water in comparison to the same
period last year.
Although the water consump-
ton has increased considerably
in 1855, there is at this point of
the season, no shortage at the
Caldwell lake, north of the vii
lage The water level is approxi-
mately only two feet below the
top of the weir in comparison to
about ten foot difference in 81.
1t will be remembered that an
additional height of forty inches
was constructed on the spillway
to increase the capacity of the
lake. It has been estimated that
had this additional height not
been added, Caldwell would be
suffering a water shortage dur
ing this particular season of the
year
A comparison Of the months
between 1854 and 1855 shows an
indication of the increase in the
water consumption for the past
two years.
