Repairs On
WaterSystem
Near Finish
The Mount Joy million-gallon
standpipe erected on Lumber
Street is now painted, complet-
ed and ready for use as soon as
the paint is dry. This should
take approximately ten days.
The new standpipe is equip-
ped with an outside gauge
which shows just how full it is
at all times. This can easily be
seen from Lumber Street. The
standpipe will also be equipped
with an electric gauge with
wire running to the local water-
works’ pump house where it
will signal the pumping engin-
eer when it is full. At a later
time, this will be the controlling
device to make the pumps work
automatic. The standpipe is al-
ready connected to the water
mains and all that is necessary
to put it into service is to open
the main line.
Improvements are almost
completed at the pumping sta-
tion. Some of the repairs were
repairing a leaky dam, repair-
ing flood gates, repairing water
wheel shutters, replacing badly
rusted meter pipes which are
under ground, installing an 8 in.
bypass pipe connecting the pipe
to the reservoir to the pipe
which comes to the borough via
the creek. “Hazel” had blown
over four large trees into the
dam and one into the tail race.
These have yet to be removed.
The only major improvement
not vet completed is the laying
of the 12-inch main over the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
via the bridge at Lumber Street.
