gallon reservoir automatically starts and runs until the two reservoirs arc full In million addition when the two gallon reservoirs fill to capacity from the spring the water flows by gravity to help fill the one million gallon reservoir below them has a chlorination station The adjacent to the reservoir which automatically injects about two pounds of gaseous chlorine into the water This chlorinated water flows to the new lower one million gallon reservoir where the water is mixed with the water pumped from the wells The water is checked often for bacteria and none has been found to date Fillmore has a total reservoir capacity of 275000 gallons The cemetery tank contains 200000 gallons and the old tank located by the million gallon tank contains 75000 gallons In years past the spring provided ample water to Fillmore during the winter months But in the past couple of years Fillmore has grown to the point where water consumption has increased and pumping from Well 3 is necessary This pump works intermittently as required However during die summer months Well 3 does not keep up with demand and the larger Well 2 pump is activated and the said Well 3 pump is used as a Cummings The nerve center is located in the Fillmore City Building A control panel is located there and the status of the system is on display The control panel indicates which pump is operating and will actuate a red light and an alarm to indicate problems Cummings said that when there is a problem the telemetry system will automatically dial his home telephone Aa alarm will sound if a running pump stops when it should be running pump does not start when it should or the level of a reservoir is too low In the past 12 months an all time high of 301 million gallons of water was pumped from the wells Cummings said r rt steps have been taken by the city to duce consumption The North Park used to consume 29 million gallons during the growing season until the system was put on timers Now it consumes five million gallons The cemetery consumed 12 million gallons until new sprinkler heads w ilh smaller orifices were installed Now the cemetery consumes seven to eight million gallons The new grass at the golf course required 43 million gallons however consumption should decrease when the grass is established and the system is put on timers Culinary water consumption has creased in Fillmore as the citizens abandoned the Pressurized Irrigation System (Class B) water for irrigation and started using the culinary water for their lawns and gardens The Fillmore citizens who have the Class B water complain that the sprinkler heads and valves require high maintenance due to the mineral content in the water Cummings said the Class B water has minerals that coat the inside of the pipe and due to pressure fluctuations the coating will spall and overtime plug the sprinklers Mayor Michael Winget said that the city will try to solve the Class B water problem so that it can be used without undue problems According to city records the cost of electricity for pumping water from Well 2 was $10455 for August the highest water month The cost for pumping Wells 2 and 3 includes using the booster pump during the months July through December was $3 1959 Conserving water would save Fillmore a lot of money Cummings said Some i dents water their lawns excessively Some use over 50 inches of water per month whereas 12 to 4 5 is the correct amount to uschCfSsiveuseoCwatetwill leach the fertilizer from the grass leaving it yellow Some residents cut their lawns very close whereas three inches is the desired length during the summer for water conservation Millard County Chronicle Progress March 22 2001 Page been one of my heroes My favorite painting is of Washington kneeling at
