Double Woter Storage
Double Water Storage
Project To Relieve Tight Water
Supply Consumption Ratio Starts

The connecting link phase of
Farmville's continuing project of
doubling the capacity of the mu-
nicipal water system is now in
process along Route AGO west.
Worknen of the various mu-
nicipal departments have laid
3,l73 feet of eight-inch water line
which will eventually tie in a
new million gallon storage tank
to the existing system.
When weather again permits,
the remainder Of the 5.50O-foot
stretch Of pipe will be put down,
Town Manager E. L. Quisenberry
reported today
Tank Due Later
The new line will carry the
pipe to the intersection Of Route

400 and the egg grading plant at
point Just west of the Norfolk
and Western oVerpass. There the
connecting phase work will stop.
Later, a 10-inch main will be
placed to connect with storage
tank to be erected on the high
ground a short distance north
west of the present stopping
point.
The town council has author
lied the project to end a too
close-for-co comfort ratio between
water storage facilities and daily
water consumption here. The
present storage pacity of
100000 gallons is less than a
tWo-day supply. ANY severe in
terruption Of water processing
would quickly face us with an
emergency" Quisenberry points
out.
Daily Use
Town cons sum ton now
is about $4,000 gallons daily.
When the current project doubles
the capacity to 100000 gallons,
councilmen will feel safer.
The new line was laid in rear
Of Route 46O properties from
Bob's S ERIN ark e west to
Southside Electric Supply Com
pany. At that point it was
brought out to follow the right Of
way alongside the road, on the
rorth side.
The erection of the standpipe
and running the final section of
water main are expected to fol
low soon.
Council Tuesday night directed
the town manager to make pre-
liminary preparations for the
opening of a new block of Rich
