That is enough water to last the town for 24 to 30 hours; longer with emergency con servation measures. "We had a fire here this winter. One of the dorms at the college burned. We had three fire departments pumping water for 10 hours and we worried about running out of water. "After the fire we checked the reservoirs. We hadn't made a dent in the supply," McCurrysaid. Manuel Briscoe chuckled at the story. He has tended the town's water supply for 28 years and takes pride in knowing the system. The only complaints he gets about the water, he said, come after a rain, when the rain draining into the lake makes the water cloudy for a few hours. He checks the single, six inch line first thing every morning, keeping tabs on its more than 200 pounds of pressure. "There's no point in letting the water you're holding get down and get you into trouble before you know it. Catch the trouble early and you'll have time to get it fixed before it's too serious," he said. Riding to the watershed in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, McCurry and Briscoe pointed out the development on the route. A resort, small farms, subdivisions and mobile homes are moving into the Laurel area "If they hadn't bought this* land when they did, we wouldn't have been able to afford it now,'' McCurry siad. The wealth of small springs in the area insures a constant flow of clean water containing few minerals. The elevation makes gravity flow back to Mars Hill possible, relieving the town of the expense of pumping water and expensive maintenance of water pumps. The watershed is located at the upper end of a long, narrow cove. If the town needs to in crease the size of the lake that collects the spring water, it can build a larger dam farther down the cove. "Our growth is slow and steady, so as far as we can see, it will be a few years before we have to put in a larger line from the lake to the reservoirs (holding tanks) or run a second line. That would be the next step," McCurrysaid. In the meantime, Briscoe is improving the distribution system. He installed most of the lines and knows each pipe and valve and the main tenance that is needed. "When the town decided to start metering its water, I installed every one of the meters myself. Every one," Briscoe said. He laughs when he remembers that experience. The town was charging a flat rate of about $1.60 per month for water and many customers were wasting water, letting faucets run and not repairing leaks. After the meters were in stalled, the first month's bill was a "dry run" to let the customers know how much water they were using and what it would cost. Consumption of water, he said, dropped quickly. And like the Watershed Folly of '27, the installation of water meters in 1954 became a controversial issue. ^SENIOR CITIZENS CORNER* HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIRtMENT TJ^ Canning Saves More and more, retirees are turning to the home gar den with its two great ad vantages?fresh vegetables now, items canned or frozen for the future Canning is most econom ical when you grow your own. but can result in savings if you make wise purchases from a farmer's market or nearby farm Largest expense for the home canner is the pressure canner They cost from $40 to $75 A large water bath canner, which does nicely for processing fruits, toma toes. pickles and preserves, costs about $6 You need to spend a couple more dol lars for a jar lifter, funnel and canning book If you keep accurate costs, you can determine just how much home canning saves.
