Accompanied by Dr. J. J. Fraser,’ aii inspection was made of the -water supply at Exeter on July 9, 1928, by A. T. Byram, who reports as fol lows:— The town of Exeter secures its water supply from the Aux Sauble River which flows through the north section of the municipality. This is a direct pressure system in connec tion with a 34,700 gallon ■ elevated tank. The pumping equipment con sists of a Goldie-McCullough centri fugal pump, capacity 324,000 gal lons per twenty-four hours, direct connected to *a 20 H.R. Westing-, house motor. In .conjunction with' this is a fire pump, having a, capac ity of 504,200 gallons per twenty- four hours, capable of operation;by, either a Universal 50 H.p/'g-as en gine or a water wheel-. The water supply is obtained from a mill pond adjacent to the pump house. The pond is badly over-, grown with vegetation and in addi tion receives the drainage from. the agricultural district through which the river passes. Bacteriological1 analyses have consistently,; shown ■ this water to be of a poor quality and totally unfit for dinking pur poses. While the system is primar ily intended for fire purposes only, the watei' is nevertheless used for' washing purposes, and is accessible in the taps. This is a most objec- tional situation since transients and people unaware of the quality of the water may use it for drinking purposes with ''unfortunate results. A sanitary survey of the Jown in 1921, conducted by this Department, in which all the private wells were sampled and analyzed, showed over 90% of those to be grossly polluted at that time. With such contamina tion existing in .both t’he private and municipal supplies it is obvious that Exeter is ini ‘a'most unenviable r1 * situation '- attd J obs- which' -call's /for immediate actiop in respect to’*"tlie introduction of a ’ safe municipal water supply1. Two possible sources of water supply for the town might merit in vestigation, viz: Springs and deep wells. The former are known to be available ’some1'distance from the corporation Ktif these are. subject to pollution and' hre said to be demin- ishing in flow. In addition to tl/is there is the expenditure for pipe line construction—an itein which might prove quite costly. Information secured from data in the town would seem to indicate that an abundant supply of safe and palatable water might be had from deep wells at a point in the neighborhood of 300 feet from the surface. If suc'h is the case this would appear to -be the most promis ing source of supply. The expendi ture required for this purpose should not be excessive, and a contract might readily be entered with a well-drilling company on the condi tion, “No water, no pay,” This would protect the municipality against the loss of money in case the drilling operations were unsuc cessful. Exeter is in a most favorable .position for undertaking an expendi ture of money on its water system. The distribution works and pumping equipment have already been install ed,'i-thereby leaving only an immed iate expenditure for supply works.; Were a suitable supply of water deL< veloped then full return could be had from-the present equipment, and a, very great asset secured for the! residents of the’town. Such a sys tem could easily be made self sup porting through water rates, and thus avoid a maintenance charge on the tax payer at large for something which cannot be utilized to the pro per degree. It is therefore recommended that the Council engage an Engineer to prepare a report on a proposed water supply for the town with special re ference to source of supply and esti mated cost. From this the council will be in a position to take qecessary action. All of which is resectfully mitted, A. E; BERRY ' ter water supply. You will note vision.
