Kinston Water Supply
Ample For Drinking but
Ppwer Plant Needs More
The present artesian well wa
ter supply for customers of the
City of Kinston is ample and
all of the wells In the city's sup
ply system are still giving forth
with plenty of what the local
chamber of commerce terms the
best water in the world. Utilities
Superintendent Bill Mm-Adams
admits, however, that he’d per
sonally like to see wore water in
Neuse River, since the power
plant uses some 15,000 gallons
per minute of river water to
cool its turbines.
Just completed by Barms con
struction Company has been a
deepening and extension of the
1500-foot canal which brings the
river water at the rate of over
30,000,000 gallons per day to the
power pumping station which
takes the water another 1,000
feet to the turbines of the pow
I er plant proper. The canal, as
I now completed, is four feet
| deeper than the deepest sections
of the river bed and it ex
tends 60 feet out Into the river
In an effort to attract every
| possible drop of water for the
turbine cooling systems. “
MacAdams says the river is
too low to suit him in this par
ticular respect but the water
supply In the city system for
drinking, commercial and In
dustrial purposes Is adequate at
this time. ;
Kinston’s excellent water is
four deep wells—
i at the power plant
-r— ~— w/erffow wells on the
Goldsboro Highway and the re
mainder came from the fom
deepwells in the city limits. Th<
newest well was originally con
tracted for 500 gallons per min
ute, was later Increased by a
contract-price boost to 750 gal
lons per minute and is now giv
ing 980 gallons per minute.
The , average daily consumptior
of water M Kinston runs to a
bout two and a quarter millior
gallons. The city has storage
facilities for 1,900,000 gallons anc
has three pumps rated at 1800
1300 and 500 gallons per minute
to keep the water flowing frone
the wells and1 into the system
A comfortable margin at this
time, MacAdams believes.

cussed with Mr. Bell, President
of the Tidewater Power Com

pany’s acquiring the properties

“To date no agreement has
been reached and Mr. Bell,
through the press, has stated
that aide Water properties are
not for sale. Nevertheless, 1 am
of the opinion that the future
development of the Eastern
