The water in the pumping basin, there-fore, stands at a level of about 14 ft. above the creek atlow water, and this solves the difficulty of excessive liftfor the pumps. From the pumping basin a 20-in. cast-ironpipe is carried inside the building and through the basementalong the foundations of the boiler room wall. Immedi-ately below this intake pipe is a 20-in. condenser dis-charge pipe which empties into the SECTION THROUGH SUBSTATION
