Activity in Water Works Improvements
The month’s news is full of increased activity in water works improvements and the extension of facilities looking toward a more efficient water supply. Some extensive bond issues have been passed in November and December, notably those in San Francisco for the completion of the Hetch-Hetchy water system; Buffalo for a new filtration plant; Cleveland for its extensive water works improvements; Atlanta and several other cities, all running well into the millions of dollars.
Conditions all point the way to the resumption of water works activity. There has been a gradual decline in prices since the war period, greatly accelerated in the latter part of 1921. The necessity of providing work for the cities’ vast armies of unemployed men has also had a considerable influence on this result.
