Connections installed last year at| Rliode Island avenue, Mount Rainier. | and at Silver Spring are being used to| supply nearby Maryland mains, and the | pumping station on Georgia avenue has | again been cut into service. T. Howard Duckett, chairman of the Sanitary| Commission, said. | As a result, ubout 50 per cent of the, water consumed in the sanitary district | | is now coming from Washington. ‘The recent storms. accompanied by heavy rains, which have occurred every day or so during the past few weeks. | | flood a large quantity of water down the Northwest Branch for about 12 hours, but after this has gone the stream’s supply becomes so low it scarcely goes over the Burn Mills reser- | voir dam. Chairman Duckc:t explained. The flood waters are muddy and con- 'tain all sorts of debris. Filtration is. accordingly, slow and difficult. The commission’s engineers find it “less troublesome” to cut in District of Co-! lumbia water than to attempt to filter and serve the entire metropolitan dis- trict with the storm waters, Mr. Duck- ett declared. When the new plant at Burnt Mills is completed. however it will he able to handle the situation without aid from Washington, according to the chair- man The present arrangement by which the suburban area is served partially with Washington water will continue indefinitely, it was said.
