Hornet’s Nest Almost
Causes Water Crisis
A hornet's nest almost caused an acute water shortage in the Town of Washington this week. This Believe !lt or Not story comes from Guy Burke who is in charge of the mechanics and meter reading for the town water system . Water is supplied to the 100.000 gallon reservoir by a spring and a well. When the spring is not adequate water is pumped from the well to the reservoir every otherday. Me Burke kept a close eye on the reservoir gauge during the dry weather and it had registered a sufficient supply but this week he decided he should go clear up to the reservoir and make a check. Upon his arrival there he found the water was down to about 700 gallons and in checking the mechanical working of the gauge the re,he discovered a hornets nest had been built in it and was not allowing the float to move for proper registering.
The town consumes about 25.000 gallons of water perday ... so that was a close one.
