After the new. plant is in operation this basin will at all times be kept .38 nearly full as feasible, by.rezulating , (Continued on page 88) - . In the far end of thr"rem/'1e shown in tlteoicture, you will notice round holes in_the ceiling, with east iron pipes sticking through them. There are -twenty-four of. these, and when the plant is completed they will bring filtered water down from the filter beds which will be built above them. This water _wil1 not spill di- rectly into the "room," but will _be collected in other pipes, yet to be in- stalled, and taken out through the far wall of the "room" to a pipe gal- lery, Where it must pass through reg- 'ulating devices, for reasons which are no part of this story. A little later, all the filtered water comes back, and Lrspilled into the "room." 5,000 Gallons a Minute When the plant is operating at'full normal capacity, nearly five-thoustutd gallons a minute wiWbt coming in. At thitr.ratis, in a little over four hours the "room" will fill to. the over- Row, which is located a tew- inches from the ceiling, and. there will then be 1,2G0,000 gallons of filtered water in storage, ready to be pumped into the mains. _ The filtered water basin of a water filtration plant is a covered storage tank in which the finished or filtered water is stored preparatory to pump- ing it into the mains. In sequence of operation 'it is the last unit of the plant, but because it extends far un- derground. - deeper than any other structure-of the _plant---it is the first to" be built. Although the storage basin of the new plant is very large, being nearly one-hundred feet square, few people who visit the finished works will be conscious of itsexist- ance, as it will be entirely under- ground. Only those who have watch- ed the progress of construction will realize how much work was involved in building this unseen but very im-' portant section of the pew plant. T :Description of Picture . In looking at the picture,. imagine you are in a room 100 feet long, 95 feet wide and 20 feet high, You are standing on a concrete floor, and the, wal1sv,ltich surround you are of the same,materitU.
