Ice should also be secured readily, unless mechanical refrigeration is used. The ideal water-supply is from springs located sufficiently above the creamery to force the water through the building without pumping. When pro- tected against surface water and other contami- nation, wells are satisfac- tory if the supply of water is sufficient. A spring- water stream also fur- nishes good water if a well or reservoir is dug a few feet from the stream so that the water is filtered Fig. 236.

If a septic tank is used, the clear water may be discharged elsewhere and only milky water run into the tank. Experiments have shown that the tank should hold ten day's sewage ; or ten small tanks might better be used, each holding a day's sewage. The purpose of the septic tank is to hold the sewage until fermenta- tion reduces the soluble part of the solid matter to liquid form. This is accomplished by having a double tank. The first tank is called the receiving- or settling-tank. When the sewage in it rises to the height of the outlet connecting with the second tank, a few inches of the liquid is drawn f
