City Well Report Reveals Prolonged Drying and Poor Conditions
W F Hobush, chairman of the water committee, said the 16th street northeast well has been dry and in poor condition since December 1, 1915. The pump has been pulling air, affecting private water pipes in the northeast end, with water only sometimes flowing when faucets are opened. The well was drilled too narrowly and the suction pipe shortened to fit the casing, causing the water level to drop below the suction.
