MAXE SURE ITS SEIBERTS “Not only must we provide for years of natural rainfall but for a succession of dry years, In order to be assured thatsthe water is safe to drink we have in the past had it an- | alyzed at frequent intervals, and have recently arranged with the city board of health to analyze specimens each day so that if any contamination should enter the supply we may know of It at once. This practice seldom prevails In the smaller cities, but {s universal in the large places, in fact, is in force in Hartford, Springfield and New Haven, and our hoard feels that no reasonable effort to fully protect! the health of the community should be neglected. For this reason a por- tion of the supply is being treated with chlorine and it Is the expecta- tion that in time a sand filter will be constructed so that ail of the water can be fitered as is now being done very generally. “Our water supply of New Britain is and has always been of excellent quality and of sufficient quantity to supply the population of the city, ex- cept possibly in the event of a suc- cession of two or three very dry years, For several years the board has seen | | storage. the necessity of adding to our supply in order to provide for the growth of the city. Surveys have been made and tentative plans prepared for the works that will add a very consider- | | derlying sand and.gravel that the res- able amount to the supply. Wells At White's Bridge Something over four yecars Ago, N Britain was faced with the neces- | sity of promptly increasing its water supply. Allen Hazen was appointed our consulting enginesr at that time, and was asked to advise the water department as to the best course to pursue. impossible to store large quantities of water at Whigvllle, it was finally de- termined to consider the horing of wells near White's Bridge with the {dea of utilizing as much water in this ared as possible, by means of wells and a pumping station to pump water into a pipe leading from the Whigville reservolr, the Shuttle Mea- Adow reservoir, the high service reser- voir and the city distribution system. Conditions seemed to be favorable for a ground water supply at this point. There were brooks on each side of this site, and borings indicated clean white coarse-grained sand and gravel !of a kind that would yield.freely to proper wells, “One of the most serious difficulties in getting ground water supplies, 18 that the sand from which the water must be taken is too fine. The fric- tion of the water in passing through flue sand to the wells is too great, and the water comes too slowly. The bor- ings showed this sand to be admir- ahly adapted to yield water, This was the character of the soil for 80 to 40 Before You Invest It is our business to give investors experienced financial counsel.
