Engineer" Approves Plai^" For Improving System As Town Board Has Proposed The following letter to the Board of Aldermen of the Town of Sylva ( from F. Eodwell Blaisdell, District Sanitary Engineer, of the State ' Board of Health, gives the en* gineer's opinion on the condition of the Sylva water system. This 1 information was requested by the 1 board some weeks ago and is being 1 published for the information of 1 the citizens and water users of the town: Board of Aldermen, Sylva, N. C. Gentlemen: The opinion of the State Board of Health has been requested as to the suitability of the present water supply of Sylva and the > adequacy of treatment. The Town of Sylva secures its water from a protected watershed ^ located north of the town, by means of small diversion dams on Fisher Creek and its. tributaries. A pressure reducing station is located approximately 3 1-2 miles from town at an elevation of 46 feet above the flow line of the I reservoir. A chlorination station is located at the pressure reducing station, the equipment consisting - * - ? ? .. ? 11.. ri iroot I OX 8 manually cuuti vim wv feed chlorinator. ** - - Considerable problems' have arisen in the past regarding this supply. The more important are listed below: 1. Since no treatment other than sterilization is provided, the reservoir and distribution system receive/ considerable silt. 2. Entrained air in the system caused by air being SUcked into the main at the intakes. 3.,. Difficulty in keeping a full i - ' reservoir Apparently the town is using water at twice the normal consumption rate due to leakage and wastage on unmetered services. 4. Inadequate chlorination. Since the equipment provided feeds at a constant rate unless the machine setting is changed manually, there are times when the water does not receive enough chlorine to properly sterilize it. On occasion, through lack of supervision, the machine has been allowed to run out of chlorine gas and not even sterilization has been, provided. | The water quality of the supply 4 is good except for occasional turbidity increase due to rain and consequent increase in run-off.

Distribution of the blood through the program is made on a regular sheduled basis. The estimated need for blood in the individual community is determined by that community's medical society and hospital authorities.

No one, neither the patient, the physician, nor the hospital, pays for the blood itself provided through this community blood program To prevent any possible misunderstanding, however, the Red Cross points out that a patient is responsible for fees charged by his physician or hospital for administration of the blood or blood product, and for any other service, such as typing and cross matching, which is necessary to insure safe transfusion.
