C. ECONOMY IN PUMPING WATER AT THE 

 CREAMERY 



It is not considered advisable for a creamery to buy water 

 from the city if permanently located, as the city water is usually 

 warmer than water drawn directly from a well. It will also be 

 more expensive. The lowest rate for water used for creamery 

 purposes that has come to the observation of the author is 

 5 cents per i ,000 gallons. Most cities will charge 10 cents or even 

 more. Some of the smaller towns that have comparatively 

 expensive waterworks and labor are not able to pump water as 

 economically as the creamery.
