KING OF SERVIA FEARS A REVOLT ATLANTA WATER WILL BE MUDDY RESTOFSUMME Filters and Coagulating Basin Not Equal to the Demand. Thirsty Atlanta will have to drink muddy water during the closing days of the hot summer months. The only alternative, so it was stat ed In the report of Manager Park Woodward to the wat#£. commlaelon ere Wednesday afternoon, le to en laige t ii,. en purity of the fitter* (ltd the coagulating basin. ■ Tbe report t . niched upon many points of widespread Interest In a community which prides itself on Its pure water and the abundance thereof. It set forth with numerical proof that, with tho present equipment and the enorm ous amount of water being used, ‘ would be impossible to maintain proper fire pressure throughout an < t«in I'll ivnilMgiiiti'in. Further It show ed that water was being forced through the filters at a rate double their ca. •city aipl that during the month o_ uly all previous records were broken by tho amount of alum it was neree- •-ury m use in the coagulating basins. Uaing Muoh More Alum. Tho average amount of alum used Is 1-6 of a grain to a gallon of water. During July 1.4 grains waa used to gallon. During the month mentioned another record was broken when the gauges showed 100,(49,000 gallons of water had been consumed In Atlanta. During July, 1005, there were $86,760, (00 gallons used. This 15,000,000 gal ion iiirr.iin.-i' would havo probably been oven greater had the weather been normally hot. Malinger woodward used aa an ex nmple of the present equipment's ca pacity, tha fast made by the South' pastern Tariff Association at the Cand' lor building July 20. At that time Mnnager Woodward telephoned to the pumping station to give the fire pres sure of 160 pounds. It took half an hour to get up sufficient steam to work two of the pumps. It was then found that tha boilers were not sufficient to hold up a 100-pound (team pressure. Seven were fired up. This left only two as reserve. Even with the seven boilers running, only a 06-pound steam pressure could be maintained. The report states further that had the test lasted a half hour longer, It would have been necessary to turn the muddy water from the reeervolr Into the clear water basin so as to havo sufficient water for tho pumps. While tho teat was being made every filter In the .filter house was In operation. that will soon be Impossible to keep up with tho amount of water used regu larly In Atlanta, and that before the summer Is over it will be found neces sary to turn the muddy water of the reservoir Into the clear water basin.
