Appropriations of $245,000 Make Pos-
sible Use of Steere Farm Spring{
Supply
PREVENTION OF WASTE SOUGHT
THROUGH METER INSTALLATION
Ann Arbor's old river water supply.
long a cause for complaint and a pos-
plble disease menace, has now been
entirely replaced by spring water from
Steere farm and Washington street
pumping stations.
This supply has been pronounced
pure by Dr. John S. Chambers, state
wateranalysis expert and assistant in
hygiene, and by Dr. Herbert W. Emer-
son, city water bacteriologist and as-
sistant in hygiene in charge of the
Pasteur institute.
Public Votes Change
The new source was brought to Ann
Arbor mains through two appropri-
ations, the first, of $200,000, made a
year ago, and the second, of $45,000,
made this April. Money was voted
after the people of Ann Arbor had
shown the city council in public bal-
lot that they favored the change. The
University paid no part of the expense,
of connecting up the new supply, city
taxpayers bearing all the burden.
The pure water was first pumped
into the city from the Steere farm{
,wells on July 7, and since August 6r
no river water has passed through any
city mains. The characteristics of the
new water supply are hardness and
the presence of a harmless quantity
of iron, which causes the noticeablet
taste.
Three Stations Operated 1
Water is pumped to the buildings
and mains of the city from three sta-1
tions. The main station is on the
Steere farm, three miles out South
State street, where nineteen wells arej
in operation. At this station amniotor-
driven centrifugal pump of 3,600,000r
gallons daily capacity pumps 2,800.000
gallons to the city every day. Wesh-
vington street station pumps daily 500,-
000 gallons. The pump used, capable
of caring for 2,000,000 gallons, is of the
steam-driven type, and is much tooe
large for the wells. The third sta-
tion, located near the river, can pumpE
300,000 galons daily, but is to be used
only in fire emergency.
Present Supply Ample
This gives Ann Arbor a present sup
ply of 3,300,000 gallons actually being
pumped, and a possible maximum sup-
ply of 4,400,000 gallons. According to
piyard K. Holland, of Holland, Acker-
m4an an'd Holland, the local firm of
'eugineers who made the change, this
supply js plentiful for the city at
present, nd should be large uough
for any present cal likely to be mlade,
including the demands for summer
sprinkling.
In order to make sure that the valu-
able supply will not be wasted, the
city was bonded for $75,000 for the
installation of meters, and these are
now being placed in all buildings.
Forty-five have been installed on the
campus.
Engineers Task Simple
Two years ago, when the large main
Members of the engineering men-
tors' committee have been appointed

was run around the outside of the city
from the reservoir on Chubb road,
northwest of town to the steel tank
onz the east side, a connection was left
open il South State street at Hill
street with a yiew to the coming
change. Taking adyantage of this, the
engineers simply turned off the main
from the old pumping station, ran a
main from Steere farm to this co$-
nection, and from there turned the new
supply of water into two channels, the
first to the reservoir and the second to
the steel tank. From these points it
is distributed through the network of
mains throughout the city.
Old Supply Dangerous
This supply of water is of great
advantage from the standpoints of con-
venience and health. According to Dr.
N. R. Smith, city chemist and bac-
teriologist, the chlorine treatment
given the old river supply sufficed to
purify it under ordinary conditions,
and only one case of typhoid was, ever
directly traced to the water supply.
When the spring floods washed down
sediment into the river, the accumu-
lation of colon germs became so great
that the chlorination did not iufflce,
and the city had to issue warnings to
boil the water, which was at times
muddy brown in color.
