>V?| almost- the t<* what they
aught fo be -oWlmf to the fact that
!ln? gfwaut systvp* wa? taken oyer
from the old (Mwfen Water, Light
and Ice Co. and tbey have remained
kq because of the fact that the city
ilia not Htt'Vf the nwos^ary funds to
make tin* ?i-\tentlon. <>f late year^,
however tinder the present manage
ment of the dty council, the plant fca#
boon more (ban self-sustaining and has
menmulsted funds enough to spen<1
several thousand dollars on meters and
extension and to have accumulated
enough to pay for the proposed im?
i mivr incuts which It Is said w^ll c.a*t
n round $7,000.
Already a twelve Inch malu has been
fold to a i>oiivt near the tlobkirk 'Inn
on north Lyttlcton street. and fron\
that point to Chestnut .street rx ton
Inch main - lifts replaced a six Inch
main; Tin* old mains thu? taken m>
have l>e<!rt; n+*?d In replacing; a smaller
main tfrovb the intersection of Oreen
and Lytt'Cton streets to the Klrtewood
Hcfe*. .
From the corner of La arena and
Lyttletofi streets down Lyttleton to
DeKalh the wis 'inel* mains will be
replaced with a ten Inch ranln, neceasl-.
tattng the purchase of fonr thousand
feet of nfcw piping of that size. This
wilf oonnwt mp with rbc ten Inch main
running tip PeKalb street from the
Southern passenger station, changing
the syalenr entirely and giving an add
ed pressure for both 'fire and domestic
purposes. In making this change on
Lyttleton street Mr. Atmt. ther superb
iutendciit of the plant telle uy that
it will be necessary to dig up the
street twice in torder to take care of
the. water consumers on this street
nnd for fire protection while the
changes are being made, f
Other changes in the pystci* iuclud/6
a new main on Union street onVrotfnd
to near the residence of n. E. Beard :
an extension on the western end of
Chestnut street to the Seaboard pas
senger station where a hydrant will
be placed: an extension on Campbell
street ^ and a new main on Mill street
and Laurens street giving better ser
vice to the Court Inn and property
owners In that vicinity. Changes will
also bo made in the lower part of the
city, doing away with many "dead
ends", insuring the water eommmers a
fresh supply at all times.
As stated above the changes pro- j
posed will cost aronnd $7,000 with
out auy additional taxes as the money
is on hand to pay for the work and
material. This will be good news to
many residents of the outlying sections
who have been paying their share of
the city taxes and have not had the
proper water facilities. It is one of
the best and most needed improve
ments yet authorised by the present
memboi's of council.
