SCARCITY OF WATER 
Continued from third page, third column 
point than ever. 
Monday and Tuesday the supply be- 
came so low that it was seen that some- 
thing must be done at once. One station 
was being run 24 hours a day, the other 
16 hours, and even then not waterenough 
to meet the demands was being pumped. 
Finally, on Tuesday the wells became so 
low that one of the pumps had to be 
shut down. 
‘Tuesday afternoon the BREEZE man 
visited the plant to get some enlightenment 
on the condition of affairs. What he 
found out was substantially as follow: 
The large station is being run 24 hours 
a day, and the sub-station 16 hours. 
While under normal conditions about 
35,000 gallons of water per hour is 
pumped by the large station, now only 
24,000 gallons is pumped, and in case of 
fire, when the hydrants are open, this 
pumping capacity would be cut down to 
almost one half, because the “‘lift’’ is so 
big that the engine would ‘“‘run away 
from the water,’’ so to speak. 
The small station pumps about 18,000 
gallons, while under normal conditions 
it would pump 20,000 gallons an hour. 
From midnight Sunday to midnight 
Monday 650,000 gallons were pumped. 
All of this was used. If more was wanted 
it could could not have been pumped 
and therein lies the trouble and the seri-

ousness of the condition. 
The fact that there were only 5 feet 
of water in the big well showed how low 
the water bed was. To be perfectly safe 
in case of an emergency this ought to be 
at least half full, or about 15 feet deep. 
Besides the big well, there are also con- 
nected with the big station 20 3-inch 
driven wells. Connected with the Cool- 
idge spring plant are five 5-inch driven 
wells.
