Orono water use exceeded supply Both the Village of Newcastle Newcastle and the Village of Orono have found, during the recent hot spell, that water demand had exceeded the daily supply with the effect that water levels in the standpipes have lowered thus lowering pressure pressure in the water mains. In Orono those residents in the north end felt the effect as pressure dropped and in some cases water supply was reduced reduced to a trickle. This condition has now passed with the recent rains which has cut down on the outside use of water for lawns and flower beds. According to Ed Majer daily use in Orono had risen to 97,000 gallons a day while in Newcastle with almost double the population that use amounted to 70,000 gallons per day. Mr. Majer points out that Newcastle does have meters while in Orono charges are on a set yearly basis which encourages excessive use in dry periods. Both Newcastle and Orono have second wells ready to be brought into operation when the pumps arrive. In Orono the pump house and mains have been connected to the new well with the pump expected to arrive sometime late in June. This second well in Orono could be in operation early in July which would more than double the supply of water in Orono over present conditions. It is felt that within five years Orono could well have water meters installed by the regional water department. The excessive use of water in Orono reduces the supply in case office. Ed Majer pointed out that Orono did not retain their cisterns which prior to installing the municipal water system were used as the source ot water ior nre purposes! As a result the fire department department would have to go to the creek for water if it was needed in any quantity. The case is not the same in Newcastle as they continued to maintain their water cisterns cisterns throughout the village.
