Centres On Intake Major factor in upping the daily water potential to some nine times the present capacity, it seems, is the replacing of the currént pump drawn intake with gravity flow. "At present, we pump our supply through an 8- inch intake set up on piers on the lake bottom. The new 30-inch intake will be laid, from a point well out from shore, through the rock to a well in the plant where a rotating screen will sift out silt and other impedimenta as water flows in through gravita- tion," Mr. Barlow explained. "The exisiting intake = was the bottleneck last summer, Storage is always down on summer eve- nings, and can only be replaced when the demands of the day drop off. When intake blockage occurred, we were in bad shape, and emergency measures were not sufficient to prevent imposing of restrictions. The new gravity in- take can be effectively screened at both ends, and will not present this problem again." Piles of refuse, comprising weeds, leaves, wood splinters, rags and sand, lay beside the pumps as he spoke, providing a convincing dejnostration £ blockage headaches operators at the pumphouse have to face. "The new filtration plant, which will come a little later, will round out a complete, modern layout. which will take care of our needs for an extended period," he went on. "At the same time, pumping facilities will remain available should they be needed." Could Service 25,000 Office records disclose that, during 1947, some 1,400 consum- ers were listed on ledgers, indicating an estimated service of some 5000 persons. Since that time, another 200 odd water users have been added. Working from -these figures, Mr. Barlow estimates the prospective new capacity could fill the re- quirements of a district popula- tion of at least 25000 persons. "And this estimate may be low", he stated. "However, I'm taking into consideration the big demand of industry: % At the present time, Trafalgar township represents only three customers to the commission, as all township water is registered on three meters as it is delivered. "Actually, however, the township provides many consumers now, and will service many hundred more as soon as we can provide the water." he concluded . commission: Our New Home We are proud to announce the opening of our NEW OFFICES, WAREHOUSE and STORAGE YARDS QUEEN ELIZABETH HIGHWAY WEST (South side between Sixth and Seventh Lines) May we take this opportunity of patronage.
