New Well For Knoxville City Water Supply
The city council awarded a contract last Wednesday night to Layne-Bowler Co. of Chicago to sink a new well and install a pump capable of delivering 500 gallons per minute to the city reservoir. Work has begun with prospecting for the best site near the old well northeast of town by the Des Moines river. The move follows hospital complaints of inadequate water pressure, as current pumping only supplies 231 gallons per minute while hot weather lowers reservoir levels. The project aims to ensure steady supply despite demand.
