The pond is fed on one side by _\ Tun-off from rains and a distant ‘glacier visible from the reser- | voir's banks, and it empties out ina lucid cascade over a spillway - on the opposite side. Nearby, a -.16-inch plastic pipe buried in the floor of the pond marks the beginning of the convoluted route that allows Terrace residents to drink the water, ‘wash with it and lavish it ‘on their lawns and gardens.’ The water is transparent, bright and pure, a compelling in- vitation to slake thirst, - On the return journey down to the Spring Creek dam, Public Works spokesman John Colon- gard points out that the two ‘reservoirs were previously con- ~! nected by a diversion ditch.

Deep Creek, the water behind the dam is murky and tea-colored. The system now in operation runs the Deep Creek water through a pipeline that connects with the existing distribution network just: below the Spring Creek dam; a valve at the juncture will allow Spring Creek to come on stream in times of low water levels, but otherwise it will not. be used. _ . - Colongard indicated the diversion ditch has been closed off, resulting in better recovery of water and higher flow levels , Cheaper Teservoir to increase its capacity and the reconstruction of one of the embankments, = = = in the portion of Deep Creek <2 oi below the dam.

The higher eleva- tion of the dam, 330 feet above Spring Creek, has increased pressure through the system and eliminated the need for pumping water into the Halliwell reser- | voir, a procedure that.used to be necessary because the Halliwell reservoir is 40 feet above the elevation of Spring Creek.
