20 TiiE Health Bulletin house, and finally to carry off the overflow and waste. It is obvious from the foregoing that the construction of a private water system is rather beyond the ability of the average individual, and for this reason no attempt is here made to give exact specifications. The Water Supply.—This is ordinarily a well, which should conform to the requirements for a safe water supply as described in a previous article. Occasionally a spring may be utilized for this purpose. The Pump.—An ordinary lift pump will not suffice. A force pump of some type is required- In some instances where springs are used a hydraulic ram may be made to force the water into the storage tank. The Power Pumping Device.— Windmills are frequently employed to a good advantage for this purpose. In recent years, however, the gasoline engine and pump-jack have come into very general use. The Storaj^e and Pressure Tank.— The common practice is to elevate the storage tank above the highest point of outlet in the distribution system. In this method the water is conducted through the house-pipes by gravity. Another method is to provide an air-tight steel tank into the basement or some other convenient place. Water is pumped into the tank against air pressure. The air pressure in the tank then forces the water throughout the house-pipe system. '■•TZ. Fig. 13. Hydraulic ram. If a stream of good water, having a fall of 5 feet or more in a hundred feet, flows within a reasonable distance of the premises, a hydraulic ram may be used to pump water into a suitable house tank. The manner of connecting a ram is shown in Fig. 13. The ram (a) is located in a masonry pit (b), where it should be protected from frost by banking earth around the walls. The drive pipe (c) from the source of water supply, which in the figure is a dam made in the stream, is connected to the inlet tapping of the ram, and the discharge pipe (d) is extended in a trench to the house, where it supplies a tank located in the attic. The level of the ram should be at least 2 feet below the level of the inlet to the drive pipe.
