Gloucester Water Crisis Shrinks River to Dry Holes
Gloucester faces a severe water shortage as the River Gloucester falls to its lowest level in memory and the pumping hole near town runs dry. Officials report 1800 gallons per hour leaking through gravel while daily needs reach 150000 to 200000 gallons. Council crews clear logs near the pumping site and plan releasing water from upstream holes, with an estimated one million gallons obtainable. Mr. Bennett announced central funds from Minister K C Martin for a 250000 gallon reservoir and rising main, costing about £11000, to bolster storage.
