A New Flowing Well

A New Flowing Well

Put Down By the Ann Arbor Water Company.

A new six inch well of the Ann Arbor Water Co. was drilled in Saturday morning at the station on W. Washington st. A splendid flowing stream of water was struck at a depth of 93 feet. It is estimated at 25,000 gallons a day. When the pipe is cut off level with the pump house, the capacity of this well will be increased three fold. What is very peculiar about this well is that there are other wells within 15 feet where flowing water was struck at a depth of about 70 feet. This shows the present well taps a lower vein of water. The Water Co. can well congratulate itself on the location of its W. Washington st. plant. Wherever a well has been drilled flowing water has been secured. lts excellent quality is also so remarkable, the water having been analized by Profs. Vaughan and Novy repeatedly. They declared it almost absolutely pure. The slight trace of iron is very health giving.
