L. B. WHITE'S HOME THE PLroilH (HER Mm No City the Size of Plattsmouth Can Boast of a More Up-to-date Plant. A representative of The Journal was inviled yesterday to visit the pumping station of the Platls tnnntli Water coni'mnv. north of this city, and I he charges I hat have occurred Ihe'-c in the last year impressed themselves upon him very much. 'Yc water com rany, when it purc.i.i",i the plant from the old stockholders two years ago, outlined a campaign ol improvement and siui'' that time the plant has been gradually growing until today then are few towns of this si'.e in the slat", that can boast of as fine an equipped plant. The company about a year ago inslalUd a large Ruction iiumn in 'he station and erected a brick addition to the building in order to accommodate it and followed this up by the starting of' a fine fillering plant to furnish the palnns with the best and purest of water, and to. day, twenty-seven years a Per tin establishing of lb-) PlaC-iooulh water works, it was placed in k livo operation and to appreciate what it means in I he imroving of the, purity of the water it is neees siiry for one to see ' nctiv operation. The water for the sta lion is procured from nine large wells east of the main buildings and this water is taken up by the big suction pump into the filter house, where it is run through Ivvo large aerators, which sends the water through screens in a spray and the air passing through tho water before it enters the fil ler tanks below. The water in tho filter runs through ten inches of gravel and fifteen inches of fine sand, which brings it into the settling basins in a clear condi tion and from thence it is pumped into the standpipe to supply the city with water for use. This fil tering process is seldom found in a plant in a town the size of Plattsnioiilh as generally their expense is so great that the com panies rlo not believe the patron age warrants their use, but the Plattsmouth company feels that the patrons of the company in this city are entitled to receive the best possible service and have made this improvement with the .idea of placing their plant in the front ranks of any in the state. At the present time the plant here is in better shape to supply the city with water for fire pro tection as well as private con sumption and the citizens here have a light lo feel proud of the result of the efforts of the com pany and their efficient manager, Mr. 11. M. Sinclair, to improve the service for them, and all who are able should make a visit to the plant to note the (hanged condi tions. The interior of the new filler plant has been painted while ami is kept in perfect sani tary condition, as are Hie filters which are cleaned each day after the nrocess or littering. 1 Here is t ... a large 3,700 gallon lank on the oof of the building and each day he water is turned and is forced up through the sand, cleaning it, of all dirt and impurities and the water is then run off through sluice boxes lo the outside of I lie uiilding, leaving I ho sand in the filler in a perfectly clean condi- ion.
