plant anywhere. Everything in it is
tne best. Under it the process of
Alteration insures pure water, from 97
to 99.98 pure.
The system is simple. The water is
pumped from the canal into the big
settling tanks, holding 250.000 gallons,
a solution of alum and perhaps ' soda
added, practically killing the batceria.
The water then runs from the big
tanks, three feet from the top into the
filters, passing through sand, down into
the clear water tank holding about
250,000 gallons, the .alum absolutely
eliminated, the water as clear s if
fresh from a mountain top.
When completed it will be bo our
people can go through the plant and
see for themselves how things are done.
