Lititz became the sight of a lovely lake of crystal-clear water when workmen digging a 24-foot excavation a t the site of the borough’s proposed sewerage treatment plan t ju st east of the borough, struck a strong spring. And Lake Lititz, as the mass of water has been dubbed by the workmen, if not eliminated by winter will surely make an ideal place for ice skating. Seriously, however, Lake Lititz presents a real problem to the engineers of Rice & Weid-man, Lancaster contractors who are constructing the treatment plant. The lake at present covers the entire site of what will some day be the pump building. And while this building will be only one story above the surface, its pumps and s e ttlin g ' tanks extend for a distance of 24 feet beneath the e a rth ’s sur- j face. | This p a rt of the work h a d 1 been dug to a depth of aro u n d ' 12 feet when the spring w a s' h it and with the water tem- j porarily a t least halting the j work. At the same time, a strong spring on an adjoining property quiekly dried up The water is so clear th a t the bottom of the lake can be viewed easily, giving the lake a false impression of shallowness despite its actual depth. And while work on this section has been halted, work on the remainder of the treatment* plant was going along steadily despite th a t the contractors have not been able to obtain the number of workmen desired. It is hoped th a t the payro ll can be greatly increased and the pace of progress greatly accelerated during the next few months, engineers at the plant stated.
