Waterworks Pumps
1.0 Million Gals.

Port Clinton Waterworks is
pumping water at the rate of LIS
million gallons per day, said Wa
terworks Superintendent William
Crohen this week, as a sweltering
city continues to wilt under the
heat wave.
On one hot day, pumpage was
1.9 millions gallons. Daily average
last year was 1.2 million. There is
no danger of supply failure, since
the waterworks has three million
capacity and can obtain plenty of
raw water.
Our biggest trouble" said Mr..
Crohen, ''is getting the water into
the plant. "The present intake is
so years old, on some occasions
between two and three millions
gallons are brought into the plant
to be treated.
