Dear Sir:— We note by a letter appearing in your issue of December 24th, 1936, and signed as CITIZEN, that there is some uneasiness Iregarding t>he quality of the water which will be delivered to the town system at in tervals from the underground res ervoir, and also that this .water will be used only in case of fire. The real object of the reservoir was twofold. First to be used in case of .fire and second, to. take care of any peaks in consumption' which would only occur for short periods. There is also t'he .possibility that there would trie power the springs, line engine house could be iused to supply the town system. It is also' the inten tion of the Commission t0' use water entirely from the reservoir for short .periods and refill with fresh water .from the springs. Where Municipal Water Systems are installed the usual practice is to have reservoirs for storage purposes as is the case in Exeter and the Commission has been assured by the Waterworks Engineers and also the Provincial Board of Health that water does not become stagnant in an underground covered reservoir if properly constructed, if the water is held in storage for years. The reservoir of 250,.000 gallon capacity was necessary to meet the approval of the Fire Underwriters an-d also to maintain the low rate of Fire In surance that this town has. We might also state that this sys tem has been installed under the supervision' of one of the best wat erworks Engineers in Ontario and 'has been approved by the Provincial Board of Health. To further safeguard health of the people of Exeter samples of water both ffom the springs and res ervoir will be forwarded to' the Pro vincial Board of Health for examin ation. The Commission feel quite sure that after the system has been prop erly cleaned and flushed that the water will be amongst the finest supplied Notice paper as isidered i sumptioil.
