| Show CAST IRON PIPE TO BE USED HERE car load of pipe ordered to replace worn out wood pipe iron to be used in future for mouths months the city fathers of panguitch have been considering ways for securing an efficient ettl clent means and nd ond and permanent water system tor for ou our r fair city we ive are fortunate in having available ble a sufficient supply ot of pure mountain water tor for present and future needs of the community but we are somewhat unfortunate in having a 9 falling failing system of waterworks water works our pipes are gone we are already taking hazardous risks in case of oc tire fire because of the poor supply of water due to excessive waste from leaks in the present system but we shall soon find ourselves beset with dangers to our health due to the contamination of 0 the water supply from this samo same falling failing system no reflection ebion la Is cast upon the good officials of 0 the past who did the best thing possible at the time tho the present system was installed they bought and installed the type of pipe available at that time for the money in hand but that system tem la is now about gone we find in looking over the water systems of all the larger cities of the tha united states and in studying the tha data relative to the beat practice in waterworks water works installations and replacements today that more than 90 per cent of all waterworks water works pipe in uso use in our country Js Is cast iron ot of course theres a reason the oldest waterworks water works systems tn in the world are made of cast iron and the first farsi cast iron pipe ever installed for rater vater works use Is still in service in france after years of continuous use and england has been making and using cast iron pipe ever since gince 1738 our first large american cities imported cast iron pipe from england for both water and gas lines and then in 1828 our own people began the manufacture of cast iron pipe since which time has grown up the american water works association made up of the waterworks water works commissioners and superintendents and waterworks water works engineers representing the communities in the united states that now have waterworks water works systems from this association comes the standards of practice that have grown out of the experience of the older communities and the studies and experiments peri ments of experts scientists in the field of waterworks water works engineering in the manual of water works practice issued for the guidance of our communities we find that cast iron pipe is given f first place in the list of pipe materials and that since 1908 cast iron la Is the only material specified by the standards of this representative association one ot of the most interesting and at the same time most important points shown in the water works manual Is that cast iron pipe la Is rated as having an average useful life of more than years while all substitutes are rated at 15 to 40 years at the most this means that the annual cost to taxpayers lor for pairs and replacements of their pipe system would amount to 2 to 5 per cent it if other pipe were used while tho the more permanent cast iron pipe would not call tor for more than 3 1 10 of I 1 per cent panguitch Pan gultch Is now up against the enforced expense of putting patting in a now new pipe system after only 15 years year s of oti service just because we saw tit fit in the beginning to install an impermanent and temporary system and WO we have fat got to begin all over again in solving bur our waterworks water works problem can we afford to trifle further with anything but the best can we afford to put in any sub sti tute tor for permanent cast ironpipe iron fron pipe just because we might get the substitute for a trifle less first cost it ought to be worth noting that today we have in our own state large and rapidly growing industry making what Is shown to be the best cast iron pipe and we find that already 65 utah cities and towns have installed pa elite states cast iron pipe made by this home company at provo since the launching of this home industry as a subsidiary of the columbia steel corporation in utah this pipe plant has captured a repeat market tor for lis its product in cities of 0 all the 11 western states the steel and iron business as awhile a whole has developed to such buell proportions that today these interests are employing in the coal and iron mines and at tho the steel and cast iron iran plants approximately men and are expending in utah tor for native materials and utah labor upwards of a year they are using daily ally 1000 tons tona of iron ore from iron county and 1500 tons of 0 coal from carbon county and are producing tons ot of pig iron i and more than tons of coke every 24 hours As tangible evidence of 0 the quality of t their cast iron pipe we note these arge purchases by the following customers tor ners union pacific hallway itallia y system foet feet southern Pou thern pacific railroad feet western pacific railroad feet salt lake city feet spokane washington feet oakland california feet state of california feet los angeles city feet public works engineering corporation operating upwards of 30 waterworks water works systems on pacific coast feet but the largest single order ovet ever given in the west for cast iron pipe was placed with our utah concern by the natural gas interests that are now bringing the natural gas gaa from baxter basin into salt lake city ogden and other towns of northern utah this first contract calls calla tor for approximately feet of 0 cast iron pipe to be used tor for street mains and laterals literals late rals in the distribution systems mr jules D roberts of the natural gas interests in speaking before one of the service clubs in salt lake city last month when he ha was telling the public of the vast program of his people for the development of the material future of utah interests told tod them of the purchase ot of our utah made pipe tor for their gas gaa service and he declared that right here in utah you are making the best cast iron pipe I 1 have ever seen As a closing thought tor for this article we want to remind our taxpayers and our city officials as we discuss the matter ot of installing a now new pipe system that in buying pipe we must consider not alone first cost but ultimate costs coata we must keep in mind the tact fact that pipe of any kind Is only a material but after it Is laid in the ground the there re are a great many elements ot of cost coat to reckon with and most of them cannot be reduced at all by using cheap pipe or any substitute tor for the best bent cast iron pipe is by all the experience of the ages the one and only permanent material anything else Is a substitute and of short life lets have the best now and be through with constant expense of repairs and poor service and repetition of our present trouble ot of poor service and costly replacement we find that pacific states castl cast liron ron pipe has been cities and towns of utah to date and that mandof these communities have decided to make their systems per cent cast iron pipe
