Future May Mean
Second Watershed
For Highlands
I The following article, written
by P. B. lnt-llout. ranger of
the Highlands District here, ap
pears in the July issue of the
U. S. Forest Service Quarterly
Review. )
Eight miles northwest of Elli
cott's Rock, the point where
Georgia. North and South Carolina
join, lies Highlands, North Caro
lina, highest incorporated town
east of the Rockies.
With the Blue Ridge passing
through the center of town, an
average elevation of 4,000 feet and
a summer population of 7,000, the
city fathers have a water problem
that is unique.
By drilling three wells through
solid rock averaging 600 feet, the
city was able to produce 100 gal
lons of water per minute. As the
town grew in the "twenties," the
water situation became critical
The high cost involved in drillin?
and the possiblity of dry holes
prompted a hunt for a suitable
watershed.
! Four miles north of Highlands,
the U. S. Forest Service admin
istrated two small drainages. The
elevation was higher on both
drainages than that In town and
the quantity and quality of water
excellent. The Town of Highlands
requested these two areas of 92
and 50 acres be put under a water
shed use for the town. On Jan
uary, 1926. this use was given
free to the Town of Highlands.
Both areas then were fenced,
a dam built on each and a chlori
nator Installed. Since then, six
inch mains into town have pro
duced a steady flow of 200 gallons
per minute. In order to keep the
water as pure and clean as possi
ble, no removal of forest products
is permitted by the Forest Service
when the watershed Is being used.
Looking into the future, it is
probable that another watershed
area will be needed to keep pace
with the growth of the town. The
Ideal sought is to have two or
more areas so one can be shut off
for a period to allow silvicultural
improvements on the area as they
are set up in the compartment
prescriptions.
