Mysterious Underground Stream Near Lost River
Arraingarments have been completed for the third investigation of a mysterious water stream found by the Orleans Water Company while sinking wells for a new waterworks system. A eight foot diameter tunnel will be explored to its water, with width and depth determined and origin sought. If favorable, a reservoir may supply emergencies.
