I suggest that the l^unloipal Garden in i&nawh be
utilised as a site for the puraplag station and overhand
storage tank* The garden in question is centrally
situated and the land is free from any restrictions.
The installation of the pump house and tank would in no
v/ay interfere with the amenities of this small but
useful "park**
The scheme proposed is as follov/ss-
A pumping station to be installed near the
present artesian v/ell in the Idmioipal Garden consisting
of two centrifugal pumps each capable of pumping 30,000
gallons per hour against a total head of 100 feet and to
be electrically driven by direct coupled motors, etc*
2* ,;T0Ji\(g!l; i « > Over the pump house, a storage tank of I£0,000
gallons capacity to be erected at a height {to tank bottom)
of 65 feet. Quotations are being obtained for (a) a
pressed steel sectional tank, mounted on a steel framework
(b) a concrete tank mounted on reinforced concrete pillars.
The tank would be covered in by maima of light plates and
the usual wood (ventilated cover placed over the whole*
3. fl jriS r :- Mains to radiate from the tank controls as follows:-
North, to Eastern Jume l.osque
East, to sea near Dhawadi Mosque
South, to Shaikh Esa hoad
West, to point near Husainl iiosque at cross road of liani
and Sh&kh Homed Hoads.
These would be "trunk" mains (say 6") quartering the town
area, and acting as main juipply pipes.
At intervals of say 800 feet, nib-mains (say 3") would be
run as shov/n on the accompanying town plan, and thene would
feed the four sections of the town. Assuming E00 feet to be
the nuixinum distance persons should walk to fetch water,
it will be further necessary to run (say l£") local feed pipes
to points as shown on the plan.
