THE AUGUSTA DAILY HERALD VOLUME XIII., No. 276. 11/ /l TED NOW BEING pumped into reservoir f% m pll u H n I £ll MD RELIEF FROM SCARCITY IS NOW %J f f ff #i f FIRST BIG PUMP STARTED AT ELEVEN O’CLOCK TODAY I ' Eleven o’clock Wednesday morning the first pump at the pumping station commenced work and an hour later 250,000 gallons of water per hour was being forced through the long stretch of pipe to the res ervoir. By six o'clock Wednesdayafternoon the other pump will be started to work and they will be taxed to the limit until the reser voir is filled. While both pumps can furnish 12,000,000 gallons of water daily it is not probable that more than 10,000,000 gallons will be pumped each day, and after the water is turned on to the city the accumulation in the reservoir will be stow, only about 4,000,000 gallons per day being pumped in above the amount that will be allowed to come into the city. By Monday water will be allowed to stay on permanently, but Friday morning filtered water will be supplied for the flt'Rt time. During the first day or two only a limited supply will be given, probably three or four hours morning and atternoon. The first, pump was put in operation as soon as a sufficient head of water was accumu lated Wednesday morning, and as fast as the rise warranted it more pressure was put on. By six o'clock it is expected that plenty of wa ter will be or. hand to start up the other pump. All Tuesday night patrol was kept up along the canal banks, and a close watch kept on the breaks. However, every point stood the strain well and more water was turned in Wednesday morning, LIGHTS ON TONIGHT Augusta will revel in the glare of street lights tonight for the first time in forty days. Sufficient water reached the plant of the Augusta Railway and Electric Co. Wednesday to enable the plant to bo operated by water power and consequently the darkness will be dis pelled by the brillinacv of the arc lights. Since the night when the flood waters roared through the street nothing but the moon and the few gas lights, together with the com mercial electric lights, have broken the monotor/y of the darkness, but it is ail over non and. according to an official statement made at 3 o'clock, the street lighrs will all be burning tonight. »i urn; SITUATION serious RICHMOND, Va.—Edmund W.
