LEAGUE LOOKS AT GREENCASTLE'S WATER FACILITIES

The following Is a summary of part of the information given and the conclusions reached in the 1963 revision of a study done in 1961 by the League of Women Voters on Greencastle’s water facilities. The complete revision may be obtained free from the public library or the local banks. The study was undertaken in 1961 because of widespread interest in the water system and, specifically, to seek the cause of the high cost of water to the consumer and the cause of and possible solution to its objectionable features of hardness and rustiness. BACKGROUND: In June. 1935, the city of Greencastle bought the water system from a private company and it continues operation of the utility. After the June, 1957, flood covered the pumps and wells and Greencastle was without water for two days, a new pumping station, situated ten feet above any previous flood level, was built and opened in the spring of 1959. An additional water tower and two mains had been in use since late 1958. PHYSICAL STRUCTURE: Water is obtained from eight wells, drilled in unconsolidated deposits of a sluice-way adjacent to Walnut Creek. Eacty of these opens into one clear-well with a capacity of 100,000 gallons where chlorine is added. The old tower and new tower with a combined capacity of 1,180,000 gallons make possible the maintenance of a steady pressure between sixty and seventy pounds per square inch. Four electric pumps are used according to demand. An aver-

age of more than one million gallons a day are pumped. In August, 1962, almost two million gallons per day were metered. At the pumping station one man is needed on duty for the only eight-hour shift, because all power is now electrical. If anything goes wrong at the plant an "autocon” warner, operating through the telephone lines, gives alarm to both the water office and police department. The w’ater department now lists 2,835 main-through-meter installations. The other water outlet is hydrants, 167 of which are rented to the city by the water department at $7.50 a month for each. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS: A sample of city water showed 18.6 grains hardness. Ten to twenty grains is considered hard. The iron content is high at .8 part per million. Flouride tests have shown .7 PPM, low'er than 1 to 1.2 recommended by dental authorities for northern American cities. ADMINISTRATION: The department is controlled by a three-m ember Waterworks Board. Two are appointed by the Mayor and one by the City Council for four year staggered terms; each is paid a $400-a-year salary. There is a superintendent, and tu'o full time employees to do the bookkeeping and bill collecting. Six men are on the labor payroll. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE; In June, 1935, when the system u'as purchased the city paid private owners $475,000 for the utility by selling non-callable 4% bonds, due in 1947. Only a (Continued on Page 3)

MOORE'S SHOES WEST SIDE OF THE SQUARE

Dad saved twice. First when he bought his Plymouth, and now he saves on driving it. Gas economy, he calls it. This was just one of the things Plymouth beat both Ford and Chevrolet at in those “Test Track, U. S. A.” competitions* at Sebring, Indianapolis Race-

way Park, Watkins Glen and Riverside. You know the kind of things. Like pulling out quick and stopping fast. Dad calls them “the things you buy a car for.” Maybe if you save a whole lot of pennies you can get yourself a Plymouth, too—if the neighbors let you grow up!

♦At Plymouth’s request. Nationwide Consumer Testing Institute bought the comparably equipped V-8s directly from

dealer showrooms, hired the drivers, supplied the officials, made the rules and supervised the entire competition.
