Show WATERMAIN READY FOR SERVICE Tho Twenty-third street water main system has been completed from Washington avenue to the reservoir, and It Is now ready to receive the water from the reservoir that was concreted last year. It is said, however, how-ever, that water will not be turned Into this main until after the second reservoir Is concreted, which will be within tho next few days. There Is water now running to waste, says Superintendent Kircher, but as soon as the other reservoir is finished, the entire flow will be stored in the new placo, and, when that Is filled, or partially filled, tho Twenty-third Twenty-third street main will be brought Into use. Mr. Kircher says it Is not necessary nec-essary to use tho Cold Water Canyon water at this time, and that the 'exhaust 'ex-haust valve" in the old pipe line on the hill, Immediately east of the reservoir, res-ervoir, Is open, and quite a largo stream of water Is running back Into the river at a point near the mouth of Ogden canyon. While tho waterworks department Is waiting for the completion of tho concrete work on the second reservoir, reser-voir, connections with the water main at the intersection of streets, between the reservoir and Washington avenue, ave-nue, will be perfocted and every thing will be in readiness for the use of the additional supply of water |
