point out that the difficulties in the way of,
asuring a supply of water to all houses in City ench as this, under the intermittent system, are very great.
To begin with, the honses in the City vary in level to the extent of 600 fest and at the Peak 800 foot. The mains are of comparatively small diameter, being designed for constant apply, and the results that the houses on a lower lovel are able to draw off the whole supply and thus prerant water reishing those on a lagiar revel.
water, in parting to the low-level sono e. the City is employed in working motors to Ppap the supply to the high level zone We ho cenetant system of supply is in force, actically the whole of the water supplied to The lower level sono is used in working the moins, but, when the intermittent system is in force, the bulk of the water has to be allowed to few through bye-passée, without working the motors, which are too slow in their setion to allow the large quantity required to pass through them. Consequently, the moters can only pump a very limited quantity under exist.
conditions.
IDE
Fortunately, the steam rumping-engine, which is used for the Peak supply, can be utilised instead, otherwise the Ingh levels would be practically without water.
From what I have stated, it will be gathered that the intermitial systems involves much arrangement and trouble to get it into proper working order, and this une been the greater on this occasion on scent of the personnel of the staff employed in connection with water works having been entirely changed within the past two yours here is also the fact that enormdas ostensions of the City have recently been made both on the high and low levels,"
Every endeavour has been made to ensure a supply to all houses, with, I believe, large, though evidently not complete, success.
The case of Mr. C. 8. Sharp, which recently oppeared in the newspapers, well illustrates the ditenties I have represented,, as a neighbour of his, whose house is closely adjoining and at a higher level, I um informed, received a share of water daily..
With regard to Belilios and other Terraces, from which complaints have also appeared in the papers, the difficulties I have referred to are aggravated by the fact that, in most cases, all the houses are supplied through one service, the result being that these served first obtain all the available supply and prevent it reaching their neighbours. I have given instructions for s fountain to be fixed in this ease in order to enable the upper houses to obtain some water.
In the case of terenient houses, the landlords should insist upon the ground floor tenants contenting themselves with a reasonable allow ance of water su that the upper-foor tenants may stand a chance of obtaining some.
Judging
from the diminuation in the number arrangements are now working well I regret that I should have appeared to treat complaints with indifference or discourtesy, but it would have been impossible for me to reply to them without almost entirely naglesting my numerons other duties.
