Contract Record And Engineering Review PDF Download

Excerpt from Contract Record and Engineering Review, Vol. 35: January 7, 1920 It is quite possible that the difference between local conditions in different localities would fully war rant the above noted divergence of views, for instance, if the source or sources of secondary supply were just as attractive in appearance or taste as the city sup ply, but known to be dangerously polluted, the most extreme precautions would probably be warranted, whereas, if the source or sources of secondary supply were a highly colored or very muddy water so that it would be at once noticeable as compared with the city supply, even in a very small admixture therewith, and especially if said secondary sources of supply were not polluted and, therefore, not dangerous to public health, it would appear that it would be a great hardship and most uneconomical to prohibit their use for such uses as they may be even better adapted for than the city supply, or to condemn those who use them to the repumping of the city water whenever they desire to use the two waters together or inter changeably under'a pressure not greater than the city pressure as is often the case in a fire protection sys tem or in plants in which arrangements for dual sources of supply for Other uses are found desirable.
