from ashley beek ci eek a d 1 also to provide protection against fire losses 1 it is strongly urged that the city install a measuring device or weir belr near the inlet to the reservoir in or le te that the lie amount of water flowing into the system may be known and also to app estimate the dally per capita consumption and the amount of water vater lost in transit feeders eder 3 to the system should be of I 1 j f fici I 1 en t ize size and looped so that no AO district will depend upon a single feeder valves should be install installed td in such tuch a manner mariner va when hen pipe line
