The Clinton New Era, 1910-11-24, Page 7Thursday.November Sith,
From •the Power House
or• To Your Tap
Clinton Citizens may • be congrat-
ulated on having such an excellent
system of Water -works. It has
poibeen no small task, and has
ed the spending of a considerable
amount of money, 'but naw that the
• \system is in running order, •and
everytheng giving the highest sat -
%faction, there are few indeed who
regret the expense which the town
• has been called upon to bear. To
carry She pure spring water from
the wells at the power house into
the receiving basin and on to e
Stand -pipe,- the top is 150 feet
higher than the G. T. R. Station,-
• and from there to send •it nut
through all the mains in the town,
such is the extent of the undertak-
ing which has 'lust been brought to
a successful issue.
To see the systema aright, it is
necessary to start right at the be-
ginning, at the source of supply.
This is located right at the power
house where two deep wells have
been drilled and which is pumped
by machinery made by the Smart -
Turner Machine Co. of Hamilton,
and Is further described elsewhere

in these columns. From the Res-
ervoir and power Ivinse the water
is pumped, t othe Standpipe which
is 80 feet high and 16 feet in width
and is on a solid foundation of
cement. the ground is 70 feet highr
er than that at the station, from
from the it is carried by - 'natural
law of gravitation to all parts of
the -town and into the houses
our citizens.
On August -9t1r----lar---t-Yre
first sod was broken for the • lay-
ing the mains by Contractor Cullon
-and work continued on into the
fall, after which the town took
over the work and have continued
to lay all extra mains and do the
piping into the houses. The plans Dr. Evans.
first called for 744 feet of 10 in. J. Wiseman. .
pipe; 4656 feet of 8. in. pipe 11,876 Rev. J. c..FOrd,
feet of 6 in.; and 23,147 feet of 4 .711.41%.Murphy.
in., but many feet of extra piping • Mary A. Miller. ..
have been added.
Hydrants have been installed -
throughout the town, and each one
can be shut off from the main by
a valve situated between main and
the Hydrant. The necessity for
this is obvious. If a hydrant was
injured in any way or for some
reason would not work properly,
this valve could be closed, thus
shutting off the presure from this
hydrant. which could then be re-
paired without interfering with
the remainder of the sYsteill.

How The Reservoir

One of 'the latest important 0011 -
tracts in connection with the whole
scheme was let to Mr. Arthur 'Cale-
telon, the building of the receiving
basin or reservoir. The •worie was
done quickly and well, and the u
t -
most satisfaction is expressed at
the wily in which the coritrect •vas
carried out.
The reservoir is a largo one be-
ing 132 feet by 42 feet and 11 feet
deep from floor to ceiling. As
this storehousie holds an immense
supply of Water at all times,. great
strength Was necessary, and in or-
der 'to itieure this, the floor and
walls Were reinforced with soft
'steel, round rods. The roo
l 18
• dorae shaped, and is sepported b
9 columna, the centre one. being 15
feet high ; there are 24 arches and
8 barns all reinforced with ' iron
rods,8 arches from the centre col-'
mien which is 18 indica square and
four arches from -the other. eight
colneins, which are 12 inches
square-. The roof tp reinforced
with 1500 feet of expanded metal
while the -walls have 2 circles • of
heavy itrionguittr Wire, each Webb
tieing n2 f eat long, There is In
the roof 2 cast iron manholes kft.
DCLaarOi also 8, 4-i11cl1 Ventilators,
with double Bubb return bends. To
view the reservoir from the in-
terior appears to 'be a fine pleee
