Reservoir Plan Aimed at Iron Removal and City Water Pressure
Waterworks officials urge a covered reservoir north of the infirmary with a 12 million gallon capacity and an iron removal plant at the main pumping station. A new large main line would connect Cleveland Avenue NW to downtown, with existing lines enlarged to boost pressure citywide. The proposal, supported by Engineer Pratt, seeks to improve supply during the summer and maintain pressure through a circulating reservoir.
