However, there ere other factors that enter into it also, such as water treatment, and if you increase your pumping activities, you met Increase your treating activities, and it might be difficult to increase the pumping activities in the line without adequate reservoir storage and attain a proper treatments and so, this the also is my opinion, frets the standpoint of/econoiaics of a water system and the operation thereof, I would say that while it could replace it, it still would not be id adequate replacement, CHAIRMAN 3• 9* ALLARD; You stated that it might not be necessary to have an additional reservoir. I notice on Page 2 of your Report, you say, *P©r a town of this also, the water storage capacity should be sufficient to meet the needs of the community for at least a 48~hom? period should the source of water become unavailable through damage.9 Then it would be necessary, due to the low capacity of the present reservoirs, to provide for other reservoirs, would it not, according t© your recommendations? A, This recommendation, Sir, Is made as a practical re- commendation. A technical computation might create another sis©, possibly less than this; but this recommendation was made for the practical needs ©f the community in providing protection alone, and as 1 stated at first, there was another way of ©can- puting this. . 1 haven*t books with me to compute it for me accurately, and I m not enough of a hydraulic engineer to to mind the formulas used, but from a technical standpoint, you
