Ogden Wafer Users Not "Wateriiogs"
SS& ! S 4 S 8 4 4 &gj
Dial Shows How Pressure Affected
Figures -never lie. '
Ogden water users, are showing that1
they aro not "water hogs." An ap
peal sent out by Mayor Frank Francis
to residents to abide by sprinkling
regulations has been answered nnd
has resulted In tho placing of cold,
, clear water in hundreds of homes that
were a few days ago without a drop.
Tho pressure situation has not been
solved as yet, by any means. However,
tho wonderful response with which
tho people answered tho call of the
city has done nutch to avert a famine
In many districts. The .water dial rc-j
. cord tells a story of good citizenship
and tho readiness of the people or Ug
den to respond to a call of emergency.
Pressure Still Low.
Although the water pressure Is still
low In many homes in the higher dis
tricts,, practically every house is get
ting somo water, acording to officials
of the city waterworks department.
A few days ago hundreds of persons
were completely cut off from supply,
and great suffering resulted. Rooms
In the paper stories of hotels and of
fice buildings were without a flow anu
a "crisis threatened in case of serious
fire.
The Indiscriminate use and waste
of water for lawh sprinkling caused
the trouble and unless the residents
of the city continue to follow the reg
ulations -drafted by the watorworKs
department, a' moro serious fammo
Is certain to come. Mayor Frank,
Francis explained that tho city water
j ma'ins leading from the reservoirs to
tho distributing center downtown
were inadequate to respond to tne
heavy demand of thousands of sprink
lers which wore allowed to run at all
hours, many of them without nozzles.
He said that there was ample water
in tho reservoirs and at the source be
yond, but tho difficulty resulted
simply through the rapid growth of
Ogden to a city, of size, while the wa
ter distributing system was allowed
to remain as It was several years ago.
He declared the only definite solution
to the problem was the enlarging or
the dlstrlbuUng system. Tho taxpay
ers of the .city must give the city
authority for this improvement thru
a bond election which will be called in
the near future, ho said.
Gets Many Jailers.
It was proven yesterday that all resi
i dents of tho city are not thrusting
tho blame for the water difficulty up
on tho glty waterworks department.
I Letters flowed, into tho office of May
) or Francis during tho day in which
tho writers' made apparont the ract
that they understood the situation and
offer sympathy to an administration
1 that has been saddled with a. huge
i burden through no fault of their own.
Parker's Letter,
j Among the mesages was' a letter
from Adelbert F. Parker, former city
engineer, who explains the situation
' as follows:
l "Your letter regarding the water
supply situation in Ogden at this
time, published in the yesterday s is
sue of tho Standard-Examiner, is, ur
should be commended by all tax-payers.
The statements are full anu
l frankly state what the trouble is.
! Knowing somewhat of the water sya
; torn supplying-Ogden) I . am surprised
that this condition, of inadequate mains
has not become evident sooner. A dis
tributive system designed for a much
smaller city has been added to and
i extended over a large area where the
population has increased markedly,
, without regard to maintaining equai
' ity of supply and pressure; tho pre
' sent condition is the logical and Inevi
table result and Ugden is not the first
city to face such a condition.
" Greatest Demand,
t Tho present shortage Is all the more
marked lor the reason that It comes
at a time long before tho greatest
demand for water, when the weather
gets hotter and dryer, as It will, che
demand will be greater. There is, as
yet, but small demand fpr irrigation
water to use on growing farm crops;
the demand of water for irrigation is
' followed closely by the 'needs of water
j for lawn sprinkling, the greatest dc
I mand on water we have.
There is much talk of "water-hogs.-
When all is considered such talk is
, not really fair or just, for we must
consider human nature and not ex
pect perfection. There aro and always
will bo some such, but their propor
tion has not increased, probably. The
selfishness and conservation" or the
j human animal , accounts for U large
I part of tho trouble. Selfishness, to
1 get all possible regardless of the rights
( of others and conservatism, showing
antagonism against change. Indiffer
, ence, also accounts for a failure to
j lake active stops at correction,
k When water 13 not freely forthcom
ing when wanted, it is only human to
I seek to get what is thought to be
; right out of prescribed hours or by
other illegal means. Thus Is .-the, sit
uation aggravated. Those with small
'; lawna have the same length of i:me
;:in whicn to water them a3 do those
J wiih larger lawns. The result is that
! the small get more water than they
really need and the larger ones aro
short of a proper supply.
1 "Water i3 a commodity that is
i absolutely necessary to existence and,
at the camo time it is the only thing
known that is not dealt out and paid
, for by some unit of quantity. That
. the present method of dispensing rc
, suits in waste, shortage and dissatis
faction to UBora In not to bo wondered
. at; rather Is it a matter 0" surprise
that people claiming intelligence will
, submit to uuch Inconvenience and ln-
JuatlOH iK obtained through the pre
sent methods of supplying water, that
: 4.
This dial tells a story of good citizenship. It is the record
for one da3' of Ogden 's water pressure taken by the city
waterworks department. It shows how well people are
following the sprinkling regulations. It will be noticed that
between the hours of 5 o'clock and 8 o'clock the pressure
falls from 90 pounds to 55 pounds as soon as the lawn
sprinklers are turned on. The return of the pressure to
normal after sprinkling hours shows that Ogden residents
are doing more each day to solve the water problem.
: - . . . 4,
most necessary thing, vital to exls
tance. Only Solution. ,
"It is evident that measuring the'
water used by meter and charging tor
it accordingly, is the only solution of
tho problem. It is also clear that, be
fore additional water is needed or can
be used, the present distributive sys
tem must be rebuilt if larger capacity.
This is important, not only lor an
adequate supply for common use, but
the pressure and supply must bo main
tained to admit of a heavy draft at
any place In case of fire; a require
ment that is not at present fullllled.
"The two foregoing matters are, to
my mind, the ones of Immediate and
vital necessity. An increased water
supply is desirable and will soon be as
necessary as the others, but if all can
not (be done at once the building of a
new distributive system and metering
the supply so that all can receive
equal Justice, eliminate tho "wateiv
hog" and reduce the demand for v.a
terr should be at once undertaken. If
an .additional supply of water can be
had at the same time, it is greatly
to be desired. But that is Immediately
secondary; if necessary it can wait,
for a short time, on the other matters.
"All taxpayers should bo glad or a
chance to voie "yes" on a proposition
to bond the city for these absolutely
necessary improvements."
Respectfully,
A. K. BARKER
Some Idea of the difficult problem
thrust before city officials pn account
of the water situation may be gather
ed from the following letter of a poor
man, who pleads for his rights. This
Is only one of many letters, each with,
tho writer pleading from another
standpoint. The letter explains itseir:
"Mayor Francis. Sir:- Having seen1
your notice in. the paper that the-wu-
ter is going to be shut otf from the
garden on July 1, I hereby enter my
protest against that order. I am a
poor man and a man that is not so;
well. I fhink that the citizens of Og
den should b& allowed to havo a little
garden Living is very high and poor I
people have 'a hard time in malting
a living. J
Why not cut off tho water' rrom
lawns? People can't eat gra-ss. But
they can eat vegetables, and wo shpuld
like to raise a few potatoes and a few
other things to cat next winter.
"Cutting the water off will cause
much sufrering among the poor class
es. God hao blessed us with plenty of
snow last winter and spring, and wo
should be allowed enough water to
raise a few vegetables for our families.
We havo to pay for the water and it
will be a blessing to the poor people
If we have the water."

off here for several days. He regis
tered ot tho Broom hotel which was
then, recognised as the greatest hotel

"Nothing in the city could touch the
Broom for class In thooe days, but I
suppose that with tho many changes In
plans that the old place Is now a sec

"In those years sightseeing was
made entirely "by foot or on horse-back,
