$95,000 Has Been Spent In Making
A Number of Improvements In
City’s Water System.
The funds provided by the sale of
$70,000 of water bonds last year, plus
the funds provided by the sale of
$26,000 of water bonds this year, a
total of $95,000, has been invested,
first, in a pumping station; running
raw water supply line from 'pumping
station to sedimentation basin, thence
to filters; erection of a filter; enlarge
ment df power house, an installation
of two 1,000 gallon pumps, the exten
sion of water lines, and the erection
of hydrants in various sections of the
town, principally in* the cotton mill
village. A portion of this work has
not yet been completed. The sedimen
tation basin is expected to be com
pleted in two weeks. The extension of
water mains and erection of hydrants
is going on now rapidly. When the
above fund is expended there will still
4>e needed about $15,000 of additional
investment, for which no bonds have
been issued,V° r extensions of water
mains and erection of hydrants on
streets which have sewer facilities,
but are not supplied with water, in
the mill village.
The council has been hesitating in
regard to going into this expenditure.
However, the sewers on streets not
supplied with water will be useless
until water is supplied. There is no
income from the sewer system, nor
any income from the general invest
ment in the water system without
distributing lines to carry the water
to the customers. Hence the invest
ment of this additional $15,000 would
appear to be not only necessary for
the use of the sewer system and the
.general benefit of the public, but also
wise as a means of increasing the in-
ceme of the toyrn through the sale of
water, for line extensions and their
accompanying hydrants, represent
a relatively small portion of the in
vestment necessary for such distribu
tion of water, though the income from
the sale of water is absolutely depend
ent upon, such distributing lines. It
is. probable that if the cost of the
sewer system and the general equip
ment of the water system, as well as
the distributing system, were comput
ed, the ratio of the distributing sys
tem to the total investment would not
exceed 30 per cent.
Hence the investment of $15,000 ad
ditional in water main extensions
would bring into productive efficiency
$50,000 of investment, though the ad
ded cost of these extensions will be
only about $15,000. Even with this
$15,000 of investment water will not
have been supplied to all .inhabited
regions of the town. Clinton’s water
system will be far from perfect even
with the above additional investment.
It is only a question of time when the
raw water supply line will have to be
extended to some other source of sup
ply, probably Duncan’s Creek, apd
with the larger development of the
city it will have to go on to Enoree
river. This v may be averted for some
years, however, owing to the fact that
Clinton Cotton Mill is now being elec
trified and will therefore not consume
the large quantity of water which it
has been consuming for the boilers,
so that Beard’s Fork may perhaps be
available in the main Tor water sup
ply up to a population development of
8,000 or 10,000 people. At the present
time it has failed owing to the fact
that the cotton mill has first call upon
the water.
Any industrial development likely
to occur in Clinton is likely to depend
upon electric current, so that the de
velopment of use of steam power is
extremely unlikely, thus reducing the
likely need in the way of water.
Fortunately the deep well System has
saved the city in the present drought.
Without it Clinton would have had a
water famine. At the present time
the streams which are flowing best
within a reasonable distance of Clin
ton, are as follows, when measured
from the standpoint of purity of the
water antf the Volumefirst, BeaVer-
dam creek; second, Duncan’s creek;
third, North creek. This eliminates
Little River as it is a polluted stream,
receiving the sewage from Laureris.
All of these streams are small and ul*
timately it will be necessary tp go to
a river, Enoree being the nearest. So
it would seem that the likely develop
ment of the water system of Clinton
will be first, Duncan’s creek, later
to Enoree river. The streams lying
east of the town are too insignificant
for consideration. Sand creek is now
absolutely dry, not flowing at all.
Duncan’s creek, further down on the
Calhoun highway, is amply large, but
receives the drainage water from the
town of Clinton, and would be unde
sirable as a source of supply, though
perhaps no more undesirable than
Enoreei river water. It is likely that
the toWn will have to increase its
pumping capacity at thej>umping sta
tion, where it now has a pump of
about 340 gallons per minute capacity.
This should be increased to 1,000 gal
lons per minute capacity, and avail
able either by electric power or gaso
line -engine. With such an improve
ment of equipment the water system
would probably be ample for at least
ten or fifteen years, subject only to
necessary line extensions as new
streets are opened and present streets
are developed with building opera
tions. ”• t
