Thirsty Atlanta will have to drink muddy water during the closing day* of the hot summer months. The only alternative, so It was stat- I In the report of Manager Park Woodward to the waleg. commission ers Wednesday afternoon. Is to en large the rapacity of the filters and the coagulating basin. The report touched 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 the present equlpmem and the enorm ous amount of water being used. It would be Impossible to maintain i proper fire pressure throughout an ex tended conflagration. Further It show ed that water was being forced through the niters at a rate double their ca pacity and that during the month of July all previous records were broken by the amount of alum It was neces sary to us* In the coagulating baslna Using Much More Alum. The average amount of alum used Is 1-5 of a grain to a gallon of water. During July 1.4 grains was used to a gallon. During the month mentioned another record was broken when the gauges showed 300,649,000 gallons of water had been consumed In Atlanta. During July, 1905, there were 386,760,- 300 gallons used. This 15,000,000 gal lon difference would have probably been even greater had the weather been normally hot. Manager Woodward used os an ex ample of the present equipment's ca pacity, the test made by the South eastern Tariff Association at the Cand ler building July 30. At that time sure of 150 pounds. It took an two of the pumps, boilers It was then found that the boilers were not sufficient to hold up a 100-pound steam pressure. Seven were fired up. This left only two as reserve. Even with the seven boilers running, only a 96-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 reservoir Into the clear water basin so as to have sufficient water for the pumps. While the test was being made every filter In the filter house was In operation. The report ends by explaining that It will soon be Imposslblo to keep up with the 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.
