Water Supply Site
Put In Shape For
Approach Winter
Under the leadership of H. V.
Hoben, 14 men for three weeks
have labored replacing a new dam,
building new flumes, erecting a
small house, and in general, putt
ing into first class shape the water
works site north of the Jesse Lee
Home which site was practically
demolished by the heavy rains and
floods of two months ago.
During the winter months Sew
ard obtains its water supply from
three sources beginning far up
Lowell Creek and ending with the
work just completed. The second
source is between. During tpe
warm summer months but one
of the three sites is needed but
with the approach of winter the
creeks and rivers begin to lower
to such a point that to equal the
summer supply and pressure, all
three sites are hooked in.
In addition to the new dam-site
activities the Seward Water Sup
ply has been carrying forward
considerable city work in the re
placement of new pipes, concrete
man-holes, etc.
