The railroad water company
ia 1904 constructed a pipa line
from tba site ot tbe reservoir to
Altoona and tbe water baa been
need to a considerable extent.
Tbe reservoir will give the necessary storage faclities and the

The water will be used io the
Altoona and Juniata plant and
far the road service. It ia of tbe
beet quality and adapted for
drinking and engine purposes as
well as for all other uses.
The   tailroad company  owns
about 18,000 acres of' land embraced .in the watershed of the
Tipton run. It is generally coveted with timber and it  will   be
protected    so    tbat   the water
supply mey be conserved. Tipton
ran invariably has a good flow.
Ib very dry seasons it rune somewhat low and the reservoir will
give tbe storage capacity   needed
