Water Pressure Lack Said Report Feature

BY RALPH CAMERON Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer

It is an old saw that you have to fight fire with fire, but most members of the city fire department would prefer to have an adequate supply of water for the job.

Only recently local firemen | had pointed comments to make on the water situation in Charlottetown, particularly in the east end where they claim both water and hy- drants are inadequate for pro- tection.

But the east end of the city | fs only one of the many sec- | ens, particularly in the older Charlottetown, where there ‘is insufficient welee supply — or pressure — provide needed fire protection. NO GUIDE AVAILABLE

The need has been known, but nothing was done about {t

for the simple reason that city authorities had nothing to guide them in providing a remedy.

However, last year the Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply, hired a firm of experts to examine the situa- tion and report on the needs

ight be of interest to cae to know something of where their city water comes from and how it gets to them.

The present system was in- augurated back in 1888 with the city water supply coming from the pumping station on the Malpeque Road. Old tim- ers will remember when a favorite Sunday —_ afternoon drive with the horse and bug- gy was out to the pumping station.

It was one of the local wonders 1 the time, as prior to that the people got their water trem local wells | oF bought it by the pail from vendors who obtained a large cask of it out at Spring Park.

Now the supply comes

te | the city through a big 12-inch |

main along the Malpeque Road as far as Gerald street.

But from that point on con- ditions are not as they might be so far as hav- ing sufficient pressure for fire fighting is concerned.

From Gerald street the sys- tem branches out using eight- inch mains to carry the supply further into the cit

is an oddity of mathema- ties that two eight-inch mains cannot the pressure provided by one a inch m: PRESSURE REDUCED

The reason is that the pres- sure is based on the square of

the diameter of the main. In |

other words a 12inch main can give 12 times 12, or 144, pounds while an eight inch main can give only 64, Thus two pipes of the latter type only 128 pounds of pressure.

When those main are redue- ed in size — as they are in older areas of the city near the waterfront the pressure obviously is reduced.

‘That it is reduced to alarm- ing proportions is known to members of the fire depart- ment who have to depend on an adequate pressure through their hoses to control danger- | ous fires in residential areas. SOURCES ADDED

There are sections of the city where the water pressure is only one-third that requir- ed while in many more it is only one-half.

At one important point where the aes comes is 2,500 inch, thet” aval vallable, ts ealy at

sear the heart of the merena- tile area requires 3,300 pounds pressure but has only 1,030.

Since the early days two ad- ditional sources of supply have been made available as the city expanded and its water
