It's lime that might he deposited inside of a tea kettle—a pure type like that formed as a deposit on the underground rock "basins. Q. You are not saying that it is contaminated? A. It's just as clean as white sand—no contamination. As engineers, we try to deliver a water that is absolutely free of sediments, free of bugs and of a good taste. MR, BENNETT: Q, You are not familiar with the chemical composition of this water. A. No, sir, the hardness test is a matter of record. Q. Wouldn’t the efficiency of the settling basin be determined by the chemical composition of the water going through it? A. No; the settling basin is to take out any suspended load that the water carries. The hardness of water is a matter of solids in solution, Mr. Bennett, and not a matter of just a load that the water can carry. Q. Are you familiar with the load this water carries? A. I don't know how fine the sand is that they clean from this basin, Q. I mean coming out of the wells and going into the reservoir. A. I don't know. I asked how often they flushed it out, and I don’t remember the answer. MR. CANNON: Q. Did it indicate a frequent flushing was necessary?
