?jS^fessure to minimum of 23# to replenish our storage during the night. However, we were -unable to maintain minimum pressure at the Clark Reservoir and late each afternoon or early evening, the booster pumps cut-out account low water level and were not restarted until following morning in order to build up storage. Although we were unable during this 4 day period to fill reservoirs to capacity and storage was reduced substantially during heavy withdrawal periods, there was only minor fluctuation in storage from day to day. In other words, during this period, we delivered daily our maximum production. During period September 1st to 9th inclusive, 1952, we delivered an average of 1 5 ,500,000 gallons per day at 20# to 30# pressure in the downtown area with some wells curtailed for short periods and only minor fluctuations in storage from day to day. For example: September 3 - Consumption 16,035*000 gallons-storage reduced from 3 ,750,000 to 3,590,000 gallons. September 4 - Consumption 16,093,000 gallons-storage further reduced 175,000 gallons to 3,415,000 gallons. September 5 - Consumption 15,765,000 gallons and storage re­duced 15,000 gallons to 3,400,000 gallons. September 6 - Consumption 14,538,000 gallons-storage increased to 3,750,000 gallons. Production was curtailed approximately'775,000 gallons account reservoirs filled to capacity. The above indicated that during the period September 3rd, 7th, we had production, or potential production of an average of 1 5 ,800,000 gallons per day. In order to furnish water to the Westleigh Tract on West Charleston Boulevard, the southerly end of which is approximately 30 feet above our Charleston Reservoir, we endeavored to maintain minimum of 25# pressure at the Charleston Jump House at all times, although during periods of heavy withdrawal or low water level in reservoir we were unable to do so.
