Abstract

THE population of Memphis, Tenn., has increased m re than 100,000 during the past decade to reach the present total of approximately 400,000 people. The increased demands for water resulting from this rapid growth have severely taxed the water division's facilities, as the pumping plants are rapidly approaching their capacities. The water division is preparing to install a third pumping station and to develop an additional water supply which should be adequate for the next twenty years. The two existing pumping stations Parkway, constructed in 1923 to deliver 25 mgd (1), and Sheahan, constructed in 1933 to deliver 30 mgd are still in excellent condition, however, and have a long and useful life before them.
