Both Mr. Phillips and i'r. Campbell state that at times they are without water service
for a period of several hours to three or four days. They state that they have taken this matter
up with the city and with the paper company without securing any relief.
The department considers this condition serious enough to warrant the sending of an
engineer to Port Townsend to obtain complete, information relative to this situation. In this con-
nection it is pertinent to point out that a somewhat similar complaint was made by lilt. W'. R. Porter
during the early part of this year. It is expected that Mr. Sinclair, assistant engineer, of the
Department will call upon you about December 4th of Sth or possibly not until December 9th or loth
in order to obtain complete information relative to this complaint. It will be appreciated if you
will furnish Mr. Sinclair with such information as he may desire and such additional information
as you believe pertinent in order that the Department may be fully advised in this matter.
Very truly yours,
