Only a comparatively small head Of water has been turned Into the new pipe line up to this time, as it was necessary for the water to work Its way through the pipe slowly. The water was also retarded in its flow by all the blow holes being open so the Impurities In the new pipe could be washed out. These are now being closed and the headgate will be gradually ralstd to slowly . Increase the flow. It Is thought the maximum flow cannot be turned in before the end of two weeks. According to the estimates of the englee'of the water department the new pipe line will deliver, at its maxi mum, 45,000,000 gallons of water at the reservoir every 24 hours. But it is stated that the formula by wbich this estimate was reached in never exact, so what the flow of the pipe line will be will not be known until the water Is measured. There is a meter at the in take and at the outlet of the pipe line, also a weir, so the water can be accu rately measured aa soon as the maxi mum flow is-reached. The contracttng company which in stalled the new pipeline and the reser voir was two months and a half late In completing the work. According to the company's contract with the city the company Is subject to a penalty of 100 a day for each day's delay since June 16 of this year. What action the city will take In regard to this phase of the contract will not be known until the matter of acceptance of the com pleted work comes before the city of ficials.
