Supt. Andrews’ Suggestion to Connect Driven 
Wells, a Good One, 
The consumption of water in Man- 
chester during the month of June, de- 
spite the backwardness of the season 
which would ordinarily tend to de- 
crease the consumption, has been over 
two-thirds of a million gallons in ex- 
cess of the consumption tor June, 1903, 
It is a noteworthy fact in this con- 
nection that though the output is 
greater, the little sub-station, estab- 
lished a few years ago to provide for 
the increased demand for water in the 
summer months, has been used only 
twice this summer thus far, and it was 
called upon to pump in the month of 
June only 874,000 gallons, against 
over 6,000,000 in June last year. 
The difference in the figures would 
seem to indicate that the recommen- 
dation of Superintendent Andrews 
last winter to connect the driven wells 
with the big well was in the right di- 
rection, and furthermore, that the 
town has little to fear in line of the 
water supply giving out for some 
years to come, at any rate. 
“The consumption of water this 
year in the month of June,” said 
superintendent Andrews toa BREEZE 
man a few days ago, ‘was 678,000 
gallons more than last June. The 
sub-station has not been used to any 
extent because we were able to take 
out of the large well all that it has 
been necessary to use. 
‘“By making the connection with 
the driven wells as recommended last 
spring, we have been able to pump all 
the water used in June from the big 
well, except 374,000 gallons. 
‘Last year in the same month we 
pumped trom the large well 5,391,000 
gallons, and from the small station we 
derived 6,211,688 gallons. This year 
by using the pumps of the driven 
wells we have used 11,908,930 gallons 
from the big well and only the small 
amount of 874,859 has been taken 
from the small plant. 
““We pumped more water than last 
year owing to the connection with the 
driven well system. Though I am 
not prepared to make any definite 
statement relative to expense, I ex- 
pect the new scheme will show a sav- 
ing this year.” 
The pumping station grounds this 
year are in splendid condition, pre- 
senting, as they always do, a very 
neat and well kept appearance. The 
lawns are fresh looking and green. 
New shade trees have been set and 
the general appearance of the grounds 
would compare favorably with any in 
the state.
