About a year ago the Water and
Light Commission had two artesian
wells sunk at. the pumping station, to
supplement the city’s water supply,
the two spring branches (lowing into
the resevoir being found inadequate
during periods of protracted drouth to
furnish a sufficient quantity to meet
the requirements of a constantly in
creasing consumption. These wells
are several hundred feet deep, and each
has a flow of about 70 galllon per min
ute. They have proven so satisfactory
that the Water and Light Commission
haB coatracted with a well-boring firm
to sink two additional wells, and the
work is already under way. Other
wells will be sunk, until a sufficient
flow haB been obtained to answer the
city’H nendB without using the branch
watar. It is a wise policy, and the de
termination of the Water and Light
CommiBaion to keep on adding wells
until an abundant Hupply of pure water
has been secured will be generally and
earnestly approved by our citizens.
