There's Water in the Air

NDIANAPOLIS lies in what might be termed a shallow saucer. Downtown at Monument Circle, the street elevation is 716 feet above sea level. From there . the ground rises gently until in Irvington the elevation is 825 feet. Northeast, around our Fall Creek Station, it is 726 feet. North, near Meridian Hills—783 feet. Northwest, around Butler and Blue Ridge—765 feet. <= <= SUPPLYING water with adequate pressure to those areas of higher elevation bécame somewhat of a problem years ago. This was especially true during the summer when lawn sprinkling placed a heavy load on our pumping equipment. -~ <> THE FIRST AREA where the problem became acute was Irvington and the entire east side. Two booster pumping stations helped meet the demand for a number of years. Then, in 1931, an elevated tank was erected on Arlington Avenue near llth Street, «> Ea AS the population increased north and northwest, so did the water demand in those sections. In 1939, another elevated tank was placed in service on Fairview Yerrace morth of 42nd Street. Since then, the problem of Keeping up the pressure in this district has been satisfactorily

handled.

“> dw OPERATION of these tanka— they've sometimes called “lakes on stilts”~is an interesting pro-

cedure. For one thing, they're entirely “automatic in operation. Water is supplied to both of them | from our Fall Creek Pumping Station. . <= < EACH tank holds one-and-a-half million gallons. The tanks fill at night, when the demand for water has lessened. Whenever the demand for water in the district increases during the day, water flows out of the tank int8 the mains. There is a constant supply of fresh water in the tank. -<> <

THE OPERATOR at Fall’ Creek Pumping Station several miles away is kept informed of the level of water in the tank by recording instruments and gauges connected by telephone wires with a water level transmitter at the tanks. In case of need, he can shuf the tank off from the distribution system by controls at the; station, = <= THE LAND around the tanks is planted with trees and shrubs in keeping with the residential neighborhood. Which brings us around to what we intended to tell you. <= < _ THE Blue Ridge tank has been repainted for the first time since its installation. The huge dome— it's 40 feet deep and 96 feet in diameter—has been painted aluminum, and the sixteen support« ing columns“ olive-green. We think it looks pretty nice, blend ing with the landscape the wey it does.
