GRUPE NOT YET FULL.
More Rain the Fallen Recently in
Norwalk Than on the Reservoir
Water Shed.
'l‘he. Grupe reservoir. the main sup-
ply of the City of Norwaik water sys-
tem. still refuses'to entirely fill up.
Three days argue this reservoir was al-
most full. the water being within two
feet of the top.
it was expected that the. recent se-
vere rains would cause the reservoir
to fill up and by this time there would
be large quantities of water going ov-
er the dam. but that it is not so is due
to the vicissitudes of the storm cou-
tcrs. A much larger quantity of rain

ter shed. Frequently when there
were hard rains here mists resulted
there.
