At the source the water is very
dirty buO it is not polluted. The witer
runs into a wooden race, the mouth
of which is covered with wire netting
to keep out trash, leaves, sticks, etc.
The water runs through this race to
a twelve Inch . wooden pipe covered
with tar and sawdust and is pumped
to Reldsvllle by a large electric motor
which runs continuously eighteen out
of every twenty-four hours .
When this water reaches the town
it runs Into a settling basin, .havitng
id capacity of 150,000 gallons. In this
basin the alumn Is put in to settle
ibe mud. After that the water goes
through a gate into aiother settling
basin which holds also 150,000 gal
lons. In this basin the chloride of
lime is put In to kill the Infectious
bacteria.
After running through both settling
basins the water runs Into a filtering i
basin. Here the water soaks through
four feet of stnd and seeps through
fen lateral pipes.
After running through this sand bas
in the water runs into the clear bv
siins holding 500,000 gallons.
The water, after going through
thU nmrftss which takes lahout four
ta comoartlvely pure. It la '
analyzod every pionth by the State
Board of Hygiene. The analysis for
tho mnnth of Januarv was the best
for some time.
From the clear basin the water is
pumped into the tank or into the pa
trons homes. Some of the water
we use cctnes from tho tank but the
most of it is pumped directly from
the clear basin.
The town's loss on tho water plant
for the yer of 1916 w-as $6,347.49
but this loss was made up by a gain
on the light plant,
Some reasons tor this loss ere leak
ing pipes, leaking fire hydrants, and
fat rates in the houses . The town
lso loses some of its revenue by free
i, re of Witer n the public schools
extinguishing fires and sprinkling the
streets.
The school children should be can-,
ful not to use any more water than
r.ecessary. 1
