I A serious water shortage devel oped in Wake Forest last Thurs day afternoon when the pressure dropped to 10 lbs. The normal pressure is near 60 lbs. Many users of the town water were without any water until pres sure could be built up. However, some had water, although at a greatly reduced pressure. Several reasons were blamed for the shortage. The present hot, humid weather caused people to take more showers, water gar dens, and sprinkle lawns. Mayor Paul Brixhoff explained. Also, in dustry has been using more water than anticipated. One plant has been using water nearly all night, but has cut down their use con siderably since the shortage de veloped. The only time the water pros'- sure has had time to recover was during nights, the Mayor explain ed. “We just got behind and could n’t catch up,” he added. Several automatic laundries and a car wash were closed, and per sons were asked to conserve wa ter via radio. Saturday morning the Town’s fire truck was put into use at the water pumping point east of town. The truck pumped an extra 50 gal lons a minute into a tap on the main water line . The Town’s reg ular pump furnishes 300 gallons per minute to the filter plant on Elm Street. W.^®? 3^^ failed to appreci ably help the situation, at 4:15 pm Saturday, the water was shut off as a last resort. Water pressure then built up at a rapid rate. Utility Director Guy Hill said. The needle on the pres sure indicator jumped from 10 lbs. to 45 lbs. in 15 minutes. The water was turned back on again at 6:15 pm. Although water was cut off, many users with good sized pipes still had water from the pressure left in the lines. The fire truck was used contin uously day and night until Tuesday morning and had burned 100 gal lons of gasoline by Monday after noon. Mayor Brixhoff expresed his ap preciation this week for coopera tion of residents and stressed the point that “all people were treated equally with no preference.” The size of water lines in your area de termines what you get. Usually older, houses have smaller lines, he added. In response to some reports that water was being pumped into the swimming pool, the Mayor said no water was going into the pool ex cept recirculating water that had been re-filtered at the pool. Guy Hill said the days from Thursday through Sunday were the hardest he and his crew had ever worked. Someone was sta tioned 24 hours a day at the pump ing point. Not since June 14, when a re quest was issued by Commission er W. H, Holding for residents to conserve water because water pressure had' dropped to a near record low of 22 lbs., has any trou ble developed. Citizens passed a bond issue of $500,000 in water improvements and $100,000 in electrical improve ments June 24 of this year. Included will be a new water treatment plant that will more than double present capacity. A new elevated 300,000 gallon water storage tank will replace the 75,000 gallon tank. But completion of the water sys tem improvements is not expected until' about the first of 1969. Electrical improvements, al ready underway, are expected to be completed by September 15 to October 1 of this year. Youngsville Folks Hear 1 AM Bells The chimes played a lit.tle late in Youngsville Monday night. About 1:00 a.m. residents -— who weren’t heavy sleepers — heard music. Some folks checked radios and TV’s to see if they’d been left on and at least one, Estelle Pearce, woke her spouse to tell him she heard “bells ringing.” Half-awake Jones told his wife to lie back down (with a slight im plication that she had rocks in her head!) Maybe Estelle gave him a swift kick but anyway, Jones finally got awake enough to realize the chimes at the Youngsville Baptist Church next door were playing their evening repertoire (about six hours late). Jones, flashlight in hand and still half asleep, trotted across the yard to stop the music. Culprit in the case was the elec tric service. CP&L had installed a new transformer near the church Monday and the electricity was off almost six hours. And you guessed it — the chimes played six hours late! They laughed at 'Watt, too, until he invented the 'Watt Schmacallit. 1.^.* . tJ Checking For Rock A crew from Raleigh are shown making tests to make sure that no rock is present for the foun- near W.
