Water crisis over;
faulty valve culprit
By JIM MOORE
New* Teiepram Staff • , ,
Tie hiupnur Springs water crisis is over,
tot ml» swimming pool reopened today,
ant 'titty officials have lifted a call for
vutifflUsry water conservation by area

TtieBleV said Tiiesda) morning that the
I’Jt've will i* repaired locally
Ainntt a munto) ago, tie So 2 pump was
lie in isgtaning " Chester said “I think
ton: i what messed it up." That was the
pump ununed in the malfunction which,
trunteneci with heavy user demand, led to
Sunday i crisis condition
TSertter said an electrician was called
and the pump was reconnected after the
y lightning strike,
"It was vibrating a lot but we just
figured that was because it had been hit by
the lightning,” he said.
The pumps were pulled out of their
■ ^location near lake Sulphur Springs to be
repaired on Tuesday. *
We pulled the No. 1 pump and as the
No. 2 was being pulled, we found the
defective valve,” he related, “you could
hear the water running back into the
lake,"
"As soon as we got that valve turned off,
the No. 5 pump jumped from 3,000 to 4,000
gallons per minute all by itself,” he said.
City Manager Travis Owens quickly
computed that the difference amounted to
a total of 5.7-million gallons of raw water
•per-day being pumped td the Water
Treatment Plant instead of the 4.3-million
gallons prior to turning off the valve.
Owens said that 4.8-million gallons of
water were consumed on Thursday, 4.735-
million on Friday and 4.021-million on
Saturday.
He said that complete figures for Sunday
and Monday were not available just yet.
Chester explained that city work crews
from the Sanitation Department, Water
and Sewer Departments and the Quality
Control personnel had worked together
through the weekend to solve the problem
along with several of the city com-
missioners,
' “The main thing is that our most serious
crisis in years is over with for now,"
Owens said, indicating that plans for the
expansion of the Water Treatment Plant
should begin as soon as possible.
The water delivery shortage prompted a
special emergency meeting of the city
commission Sunday night. Following that
session, residents were asked not to
consume water for such purposes as
watering lawns and washing cars.
Correction of the problem led to the
"cancellation'of the vduntdiy 'restriction's
and plans to use the city civil defense
sirens to call a halt to all water use should
a major fire have occurred during the
period when levels in city storage tanks
dropped dramatically.
Also made moot by correction of the
problem was the city council’s con-
sideration of a stand-by mandatory
rationing plan.
Cable files for recount
of district runoff vote
A recount rf the June 7 Democratic
jiriman vine for state representative from
toe Jtttr. district »ai requested Tuesday by
Lwm!S Cable rf Sulphur Spnngs.
Cable fell 131 votes shy m the announced
v ote totals in his tod to unseat incumbent
representative Smith Gilley rf Greenville
fur toe party’s nomination in the runoff
toetwetai the two men
Catot said Tuesday the decision to
request toe recount came after several
aayt rf hard soul searching with friends
anc supporters’ and consultation with his
toriii),
’ want to make it very clear that we in
no was suspect any deliberate
irregularities and thus action should not be
lanes as a reflection upon any election
uffioan ' Catoe said. Their long hours
and dedication insure that our system
functions and they are to be commended
farther fine service ’*
But the Sulphur Springs businessman
arfd rancher noted that less than a 2-vote
turnaround in each of the 38 voting boxes
of the 3-county district would reverse the
decision of the runoff vote.
‘ I have never been a good loser,” Cable
said, “and a margin of 131 votes spread
over three counties is hardly a mandate
from the people. It is close enough so that
we would forever have a tinge of doubt
(without seeking the recount).
"The law provides us a right to ‘double
check,’ so to speak, when a contest is this
close. The law further requires that we pay
for the cost of a recount. Although I have
already amassed a considerable personal
debt that I have little hope of recovering, I
believe the scores of people who worked so
hard on my behalf are due the peace of
mind this recount will provide.
“In any event, our struggle to bring
responsible representation back to District
10 is far from over,” the two-time bidder
for the post said in a prepared statement.
Cable filed the request for the recount,
and a deposit fee, with the state
Democratic committee because the
election was held in three counties He said
his understanding of the recount
procedure will be that he will be allowed to
choose one official in each county as a
member of a recount panel, his opponent
will choose one, and in turn those two will
choose a third person.
As the picture now stands, Gilley is
scheduled to be challenged in November
by Republican candidate Jack Whilden of
Commerce in the general election.
Canvassed totals from the June 7 runoff
showed Gilley with 3,981 votes and Cable
with 3,850. That equaled 50.8 percent for
Gilley and 49.2 percent for Cable.
In May, a third candidate, Louis Mar-
shall of Greenville, received 981 votes or
7.5 percent of 13,147 cast to force the
runoff. At that time Gilley received 46.4
percent and Cable 46.1 percent, as Gilley
held a 34-vote edge.

Antedated Press Writer
WASHINGTON <AP) — Almost a year
iter Congress and President Carter
IbqhM Me nation needed a crash
ragcMB to dreeiep synthetic fuels, House
rf Senate negotiators have approved a
tdl to launch the m-
J- Johnston, D-La.,
i af a Senate Energy and Natural
committee on energy
theta will accomplish
itoenae UJ dependence on foreign
i in the seven yean
e Monday,
IPrerfderfi
ths of work on the
the conferees also
Carter to reaome filling
et loan and
that could produce synthetic fuels.
Johnston called the final produce a
“cookie jar” that contains something for
almost'everyone, with provisions ranging
from incentives for solar power to fossil
fuel studies.
Johnston predicted the measure will get
easy House and Senate approval next
week.
House Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-
Texas, called the bill the most significant
piece rf legislation to be considered by the
currfht Congress.
It was last summer, as lines of angry
motorists formed at gasoline pumps, that
the House voted to establish a $3 billion
synthetic fuels industry that could
manufacture fuels from non-petroleum
materials such as oil or gas made from
coal, or already-existing oil extracted
from materials such as shale or tar sands.
In an address to the nation last July 15,
Carter went further, proposing an (18
effort.
The laigto trimmed Carter’s plan last
November and the House and Senate
conferees have been at work on a com-
promise since Dec. 7.
Under the bill approved Monday, the ,,-
program would be administered by a ^
federally owned synthetic fuels p
poration governed by a seven-
board of directors appointed
president and confirmed by the Sena[
The legislation sets a goal of F-
the equivalent of 500,000 barrels_____
day by 1987 - about 4 percent of total dally
U.S. oil consumption now — and 2 million
barrels a day by 1991, with up to (88 billion
in additional federal assistance.
The bill also includes:
—$1.45 billion to encourage the
production of gasohol and the conversion
of urban wastes into energy.
-Establishment of a (3 billion solar
energy and energy conservation bank to
subsidize loans for solar and conservation L
-A program to
at the center of the earth.
