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.

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.

WILLIAMS SUPT. OF WATER WORKS MIL LEDGEVILLE, GA. REFERRING TO REQUEST OF MAYOR AND COUNCIL WITH REFERENCE TO QUALITY OF CITY WATER CAN ONLY REFER TO PREVIOUS RECOMMENDA TIONS WHICH ARE FINAL AND ON FILE WITH CITY. L. M. CLARKSON. CHIEF ENGINEER. 1229P The recommendations referred to are contained in a letter from them dated July 7th as follows: This letter not being interpreted the same by all members of City Council, by direction of the Mayor, the State Board of Health was call Atlunta, Ga., July 7, 1928 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.
