was given out: The water for Tatham is pumped from the station into a large 60 by 60 iron stand pipe oh Rogers avenue where it is stored to equalize the pressure Several breaks were discovered in that pipe yesterday and it became necessary to shut off the pumps from there while they were being repaired the work was completed the pumps were put into operation again and the result was that the
