Water Supply Stage in Crisis as City Seeks More Water
The city advances toward greater water supply amid the Lake Taylor connection progress. Forty workers lay pipe, two thirds cast iron, rest wrought iron, to deliver a thirty day reservoir supply. Efforts to connect Lake Joyce and Bradford proceed, while Little Creek may become the main source after damming to keep water free of brackishness. The Street Board contemplates using the Dominion Steamship plant for city sprinkling, awaiting fresh water allocation. Chief Ivan Acts coordinates readiness with river tugs. Board of Health holds meeting to plan lake visits and emergency actions.
