LEAK
There ap&ears to be a
significant leak under the mid
dle of the dam, Knight said
Wednesday afternoon, and
divers were trying to find its
source. He said it may be about
50 feet upstream from the dam
where water, over the years,
has worn somewhat of a tunnel
through the rock, under the
dam, emergin§ below the dam.
Water level behind the dam
has changed significantly in
the last 10 days, Knight in

Too long our district has been

other areas of the state have grown
and prospered. The only ones, that
can change this situation is you, the
voters of the sth District.
Too long we have lost our most
valuable asset, our young people to
larger cities with more industry. If we
do not try to change this now, it will
just continue and increase.
I pledge to the voters of the sth
District to work with you to achieve
this and to represent each and every

fairly.

sandbags for use by divers at» Trion dam
Wednesday. They are standing beside the
raceway which feeds water into Riegel
Textile Corporation’s cooling coils
quate water flow through the
raceway parallel to the river in
to the cooling system could af
fect a small part of Riegel's
operations, said Knight, ‘‘but
I don’t expect to see that.”
SPRING LEVEL
Although Riegel gets its
water and Trion's water from
a spring, Knight said the
spring’s level seems to fluc
tuate with the level of the river.
When the river is down, the
spring’s level goes down, he
indicated.
The company has already
had to ask city residents to cur
tail outside water use (see
related weather stories).

Duncan, Glass, Stan Ham
