City Water Gets O. K. Of City Board of Health.

Saturday night the heavy rain resulted in surface water being carried into surface wells and also flooded the engine room at the city light and water plant As a precaution a warning was issued from the pulpits Sunday against the use of the water unless boiled. Monday the superintendent had all the water drawn from the tank and the water mains and then flushed out and the wells at the plant have been cemented up to prevent surface water entering them. The city water is now thought to be all right. dty Board of Health. 1
