<br />SEPTEMBER 209 1948
<br />ON THE 3RD AND -4TH OF THIS MONTH WE EMPLOYED MR. EDWARD S. HOPK I NS,
<br />CONSULTING ENGINEER, TO ADVISE US IN REGARD TO THE TROUBLE WE WERE
<br />EXPERIENCING AT OUR FILTER PLANT. THE ATTACHED REPORT IS A RESULT OF
<br />HIS INSPECTION.
<br />YOU WILL NOTE THAT AMONG OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS MR. HOPKINS RECOMMENDS
<br />THAT A STUDY BE MADE FOR THE ENLARGEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF OUR PLANT. I
<br />HEARTILY CONCUR IN THIS RECOMMENDATION SINCE OUR EXPERIENCE DURING THE PAST
<br />TWO YEARS SHOWS THAT WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FILTER AND STORE AN ADEQUATE
<br />SUPPLY OF WATER TO PROPERLY TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AT ALL
<br />TIMES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IT IS VERY DOUBTFUL THAT WE COULD HAVE
<br />FURNISHED OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF FILTERED WATER TO
<br />HAVE PROPERLY FOUGHT A LARGE FIRE.
<br />THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE CONTINUED INCREASE IN THE
<br />• CONSUMPTION OF WATER DUE TO BOTH INCREASED POPULATION AND INCREASED PER CAPITA
<br />CONSUMPTION, AND BY THE CHANGE IN THE CONDITION OF THE RAW WATER CAUSED BY ITS
<br />STORAGE IN THE MOORMANS RIVER DAM. THE RAW WATER AS IT NOW COMES TO THE FILTER
<br />PLANT CONTAINS A LARGE AMOUNT OF SUSPENDED MATTER AND WE HAVE NO `JAY TO TREAT
<br />OR REMOVE THIS SUSPENDED MATTER PRIOR'TO ITS ENTRY ON OUR FILTER BEDS. AS A
<br />¢'ESULT OUR FILTER BEDS "CLOG UP" EVERY FEW DAYS THEREBY REDUCING THEIR
