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 by Dean AL E.
