One tf i'.i? prime factors in the
jjj permanent growth and development
& of a city, i$ the water supply. Indeed
ifk it is second in importance only to pure
^ air. In this respect Spartanburg has
I een abundantly blessed. Not only
<h is tin supply practically unlimited
$ and capable c? furnishing a city
^ many times as large as Spartanburg
|j> can hope to grow in many generations,
but it is absolutely pure, wholesome
a and palatable.

where with break walls and further

The Jackson system is used. Three

These engines are supplied by twe
hellers, -vu and <?0 hcrse-power.
in addition to this and as a furthet
prelection against low water or other
catastrophes, a pumping statioi
lias been erected on Shoaly creek
two miles from the station, whicl
has a 1,000.000 capacity. The neces
sity for using this has not arisen this
year, but in the course of time ant
when the demand grows, this statiot
may be operated and if the eitj
should ever outgrow the supply o
these copious creeks, the Sh<:al>
pipes, which run under Lawson':
Fork, can be tapped in a few hour:
and enough water had to supply New
York city; so Spartanburg has verj
little likelihood of having to face f
water famine for several hundrec
years at least.

C. W. Harty has been connecter
with the water works for about 15
years. He is an invaluable superintendent
and the present high state oi
efficiency is due largely to his thorough
understanding of the business
and his careful regard for the need.'
and wants of the community. .1. I'
Heine has been in the employ of tlit
company for 13 years and has beer
faithful and efficient.
A visit to the pumping station is r
revelation to the uninitiated as ti
what can be done towards purifying
and' cleansing water. In the ha '?

there is no possibility of getting stagnant

the dam that water is thoroughly aerfated

The standpipe, erected cn North

it capacity of 2,100,000 gallons. The
' water pressure at the office of the
' company cn South Church street is
1 60 pounds, which can lie instantly inr
creased to 90. This is sufficient for
^ fire protection allowing a stream of
water to he thrown over the tallest

While the excellent health t ie eonti
inanity enjoys is proof of good wa'
ter, its purity has often been demonstrated
bv chemical analysis. Not once
has the test proved otherwise than
highly satisfactory. An eastern capitalist
from Watertown, X. Y., who
1 is interested in some forty odd sys5
terns of water works, visited the
- Spartanburg plant recently and after
f carefully examining the water expressed
tlie opinion that this city is
most fortunate in having such a supply.
He says he had found nothing
superior to it in all his travels.
