C. 5ATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1950 Phone, F3361 F3371 NUMBER 150 University Opens Modem Filter Plant Expandable Plant Is Built To Handle 3,000,000 Gallons Of Water Each Day By Glenn Harden . The end of Chapel Hill's water worries was foreseen yes terday by J. II. Bennett, director of operations for the Uni versity, as he announced the opening of a modern filter plant. ac- The plant, built like an cord ion," will never be too small; for the community and Univer-J sity needs, Bennett said. j Now able to handle 3,000,000 j gallons of water a day, the new1 plant is a definite improvement! over the old plant behind Philips Hall, which took care of 1,300,000 gallons daily. The old reservoir at present stores 300,000 gallons, while the new one, beside the new plant, will store 1,500,000. Put no matter how big Chapel mil, or the University, may grow, no recurrence of the shortage of 1943 is foreseen, since the new plant is designed in sections, so that it may be enlarged at any or all of the steps in filtration, Bennett said. University Lake is the source for water for the community, and when the modern plant opens for business the first of May, it will filter, clarify and sterilize water from the lake. ; The new plant, designed by W. C. Olsen, cisulting engineer of Raleigh, and built by A. H. Guione of Charlotte, is located one-half mile west of Canbow, between Carrboor and University Lake. New shrubs are being planted around the functionally designed building. The old building is to be turned over to the Department of Public Health, which will use the up stairs for classrooms.
