Rains AugineDt pty Wales Supply;
Tank Contract Awaid Anticipated
The past week’s heavy rainfall
has brought smiles to the face of
Grady Yelton, superintendent of
public works, who has been keep
ing close watch on the water
levels of the city’s York Road and
Davidson Lake fesvoirs.
The level in the York Road
lesevolr had increased by a foot
Tuesday afternoon and was con*
tinuing to rise Wednesday.
The two streams which serve
the York Road lake were also
showing a good rate of flow.
“The raw water supply was di
minished, but we foresaw no
shortage unless the drought con
tinued for a considerable period "
Supt. Yelton commented.
At the same time, he and the
city’s consulting engineer, W. K.
Dickson, of Charlotte, kept a con
tinuous check on the resevolr
water levels.
Kings Mountain’s most criti
cal water shortage of recent
years occurred during the con
secutive dry sununere of J9d3
and 19-54. No water .service was
suspended, as some dtic.s found
necessary, but the city augment
ed its raw water supply by
pumping water into the York
Road resevoir from the shaft of
the old gold mine near the lake.
The Davidson lake was con-
.structed in 1954 and was avail
able as a source of supply the
followingycar. It has been used
as an auxiliary supply during
the past sever^ weeks.
It is anticipated the city board
of commissioners will take a step
toward augmenting the city’s
filtered water supply Thursday
night, when the board is expect-
cd to award contracts for con
struction of a two-million gallon
storage tank on Cherryvllle road.
Low bids for structure and tank
total $88,175. Chicago Bridge and
Iron Company was low bidder on
the tank and C. W. Gallant
Company low bidder for the
structure.
