Dear Sir:
Pursuant to your request made at
a meeting of the Milledgeville City
Council Sept 5th, I am giving below
the result of the bacteriological ex
amination of Milledgeville tap water
sample submitted to this department
August 14. The result of a chemical
test for the presence of free chlorine
in water at the filter plant made
Stpt. 5th, i* also given at your re
quest.
Five 10 cubic centimeter and one
1 cubic centimeter portions taken
from sample of water labeled “tap
water" submitted to the laboratory on
August 14th, were examined and
found to be free of Bcoli. Free chlo
rine to the extent of approximately
.5 part per million as determined by
the ortho-toliriln reagent method was
especially true when the protective
filter plant on the afternoon of Sept.
6th.
Your attention is directed to the
small value of any interpretation
given a single sample representing a
public water supply. This is
especially true when the protection
features of a system are inadequate
as is the case at present at Milledge
ville. Recommendations have been
made to the Milledgeville City Coun
cil in connection with needed im
provements t-« the protective features
of the purification works. As long
as the present condition exist* the
Milledgeville water must be consider
ed a . otentinlly dangerous municipal
water supply.
If this department can serve you
in any matter pertaining to the safe
ty of the public water supply, please
call upon us.
Yours very truly,

Mr. P. E. Williams,
Superintendent of Water Works,
Milledgeville, Georgia
Dear Sir:
With reference to conversation
with Mr. Clarkson this date. I wish
to advise that samples submitted for
the first fix months of this year have
all been negative of pollution which
indicates that a safe water supply
has been furnished to the consum-
However, we have continually call
ed to the attention of the City of
Milledgeville the fact that a sewer
line is located above the water plant
and parallel to the stream from which
the water is taken. Thus sewer line
discharges below the water plant but
during periods of high water in the
stream the sewer line is submerged
allowing sewage to enter the stream
above the water intake. At a recent
meeting of the Council of the City of
Milledgeville. certain deficiencies ex
isting in the present filter plant were
enumerated and recommendations
made that competent engineernig
counsel be employed to work out a
method for putting the filter plant
in first class, condition. At the pres
ent time a single chlorinator is de
pended upon for the major portion
of the purification that the water re
ceives. In treating water from sur
face streams with filter plants it is
assumed that water directly from the
filters will be suitable for domestic
consumption. Chlorination equipment
i* installed as a factor of safety to
take care of the possible lowering of
efficiency of filter units which some
time* occur for a sho.. period of
time. To assure uninterrupted ster
ilization of water furnished to the
City of Milledgeville, it is advisable
that duplicate chlorination equipment
be provided so that in case of break
down on one machine another ma
chine will be available to take care
of the emergency. Unquestionably
the *ewer line should be relocated and
reconstructed so that it would not
effect the quality of the stream sup
plying water to the filter plant
From the quality of water accord
ing to our records the water plant
is evidently being feficiently operat
ed and the public should have no
anxiety so long as this quality is
maintained and efficinet operation
of plant assured.
Very truly yours,
W. H. WEIR.
Assistant Engineer.
The recommendations contained in
the above letter have been partly
carried out, and the remainder are

At no time since March 1st, has
our chlorinator been incapacitated,
and has always functioned properly.
Ortho-tolidin tests are m#de daily
both at the pumping station and at
the City Hall, and have never failed
to show chlorine in excess of require
ments. These testa are made in
strict accords ce with the direction*
of the State Board of Health, and
no changes have been made in opera

directions were given ua I visit the

of trouble remain there until the
