ABOUT OUR CITY "
WATER SUPPLY
FACTS THAT ARE HOT GENER
ALLY KNOWN.
Eighty-Three Surface Priviee at Kin
aapolia Drain Into Our Water Sup
ply Here. Alao 165 Oth eri Be
twees Here and Kannapolia, The
'State Lav Forbida This A 8e
xiona Matter That Should Hare
.Immediate Attention.
To "the Editor:
While it may not bo generally
known, a report is required by the
State every three month showing the
condition of the watershed. The
Mareh report shows eighty-three sur
face privies at Kanuapolis, draining
into our water supply, as also one
hundred and sixty-flve others between
there and here, to say nothing of in
numerable cow sheds, stables, hog
pens and chicken yards en route,
. which is truly a horrible state of af
fairs. The number shown above will
doubtless be exceeded at the present
tnne, as it appears tluthe water
board has neve.- made a survey of
the watershed, and filed its map as
required by law.
The State law forbids any surface
privies within fifteen miles of the
place where the water is pumped in
and drawn from, and is most rigid
and drastic in its requirements on
the subject. Yet, all this is occurring
iu 248 cases, as shown by report,
within a radius of ten miles, and
Concord people submitting and drink
ing the water. The members of the
board are given full power to correct
such conditions, and are themselves
indictable if they fail to fully pro
tect I fie water supply as required by
law.
The same conditions prevailing now
as in March, in fact, since we began
drawing our water supply from Cold
Water Creek, is it now time for our
citizens to get together and see or
know why those entrusted with the
lives1 and health of the community
are not made ,ta observe this-Jaw -in
toto, or suffer the penalty.
It cannot be claimed that filtration
of the water is sufficient, particularly
as the filthy stuff we are constantly
drawing from the pipes show little
or no evidence yf it and. too. because
the law requires that the supply be
guarded as above, separate and dis
tinct from that feature.
With warm weather approaching,
when typhoid fever and other sick
ness is at hand and likely to occur,
the life and health of the community
should not be jeojardized in this re
spect, and it is up to our citizenship
(all being interested) to see that
further neglect of this law is not
longer tolerated.
