    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Water Rates In Lynden Reduced: Sprinkling Costs Will Be Lower This Season; New Pump To Be Installed.; WATER RATES IN LYNDEN REDUCED Sprinkling Costs Will Be Lower This Season; New Pump To Be Installed Cheaper sprinkling rates for Lynden will go into effect May 1 as the result of action taken Monday evening by the city council. Acting upon a recommendation of the water superintendent, the council ordered the sprinkling rate cut from 7 1/2 cents to 6 cents per hundred cubic feet. The minimum rate will remain the same, $1.75 for the first 500 cubic feet with a deduction of twenty-five cents if paid during the month following that in which the water was used. In order to take care of the larger volume of water that is expected to be used for sprinkling purposes as the result of the reduced rate, the council ordered a new pump of larger capacity to be installed at the pumping plant at the river. The new pump will replace one of smaller capacity which will be removed and sold by the city. The new pump is being ordered from a Seattle company, and is expected to be installed within the next three weeks. It will have a pumping capacity of 650 gallons per minute, and will match in capacity the big pump at the filter plant. The same motor as was used for the old pump will be used to drive the new one. "When the new rates go into effect the first of May, Lynden will have the cheapest sprinkling rates of any place that I know of where the water must be pumped and filtered," E. A. Knittel, water department superintendent, says. "The sprinkling rate will be the same as that charged by Bellingham and Seattle. In both places, a gravity system is used and filtering of the water is unnecessary." The water superintendent says that he hopes that the people of Lynden will use enough water this season to keep then lawns and gardens fresh and green. That is the reason the reduction is being made, Mr. Knittel explained, to enable the people of this city to use all of the water they require at the minimum possible cost.]]></dcterms:description>
