Pumping Facilities and Settling Basins of Clinton's New $1,150,000 Water System In the picture at left are shown the pumps in the city’s newly constructed filter plant on Gary Street. They will bring raw water from the reservoir to the filter plant to be processed. The pump nearest the back wall is a stand by, powered by a gasoline engine, and will be used in the event of power failure which will put the other two pumps out of commission. Nearer the viewer, and out of the pic ture, is still another pump, to be used for supplying the water to wash the settling basins. The center picture shows the settling basins, which are on the opposite side of the wall from the pumps and are seen from the roof of the building housing the pumps. B. R. Austin, long-time superintendent of ClintMn'' utilities, including electric and water systems, .s at r.ght in his office in the new building, a picture of which was printed in The Chronicle’s last issue.
