"J cannot play upon any stringed Instrument but i can tell you how pf a little village ts make a great and glorious city/' said the old Greek Tberaintocles. One :i the most important ele ments in making a small town a jrreat and glorious ?ity is the assur ing of an ample supply of. pure water. As cities have srrotfn tarjrer ft* problem has become more difficult. The extent to which municipal . governments have &one to insure, sufficient uneontaminated water far their citizens is ?h?wn in the rta*e of I.1O8 Anjreles, California, a few fa-ts about whose water . system should be of value to all interested in city planning. ? . The Municipal Water Bureau, with it* supply and distribution system, represent? an investment of more than $?:>.000.000. The fa.in source of supply, is a 'giant aqueduct nearly 2.50 miles in 'length. It is krvc\Vn as the Owens River Acqueduet an^. jsluid aenss thy: M jaye Deceit and up tfve east -side i f the Sierras to tap the- melt ing snows near their summits. It took five years .to complete and ? capable of meeting the water heeds of two million people. This" aqueduct is said to be the lar?r2sfc in the world brin^inc v.ater to a city. Fifteen reserv.: h*s are used for ths t rage of the water. They have a . total capacity of 120,000 acre feet or about 39,000,000,0 gallons. Thfc isr enough to meet the city's domes tic water requirements for an en-1 tire year without btittg refilled. J The network of water mains carry ing thfe water to ccnsumfers totals ; almost the number cf miles across the continent. , Surveying and other preliminary work lias been done for a second aqueduct ab&ut 280 miles Ion? which will be built in the future It will increase the. capacity vmtil seven million inhabitants can be taken care of. The water brought from the incit ing sr- vv is rare at the source and ccmes tfirughthc aqueduct . uncen taminaie?2. The problem of ..keep ing .it pure in the reservoir is hie I by an elaborate system of tests and Vrri!:zat:ons. ..ristead, of the old method of throwing in powder; ehl:r;rie g33 is with -Hratet* in a way similar to the charging cf carbonated water.' and this is riin into the tanks. It Is. a .significant "fa^t that the health cfeyfortment reports that sine ? 1902 not a single ca?e o? w>tjr-. Vorre disease has b'ejen rapoited iii the city. This one txamplei of the extent to \vhic?> enterprising: cities will go .In their struggle t" insure pure water is indicative of its, importance in urban life.
