Feasibility of the proposed pressure tunnel under Lions'ate,to carry water to the city from the North Shore ivatershed is practically certain. Commis- sioner E. A. Cleveland told mem- bers of the Water Board Tues- day afternoon. A prdliminary c'stimate of the cost of the scheme, which would replace all mains across Burrard Inlet from the Capilano and Seymour sys- tems. is between $ 1,000,000 and $ 1,500,000 he stated. 'I he tunnel, bored through bed- rock beneath Lions'ate, would be approximately 7000 feet long, with a diameter of about nine feet, this depending on the ca- pacity of water storage facilities which can be developed on Capil- ano Canyon. To determine this, water district engineers are still studying the possibi)ities of the proposed regulating basin. Two Deep Shafts Pressure to carry the water through the tunnel would be de- veloped by descent of the fiow fiom the upper reaches of the watershed and a 500 or 600 foot ~haft at the North Shore intake of the tunnel ~ By reason of the natural law of water finding its own level, the flow at the out- take in Stanley Park will rise in a shaft at the head of which will lie a distributing system to di- vert the supply into the city mains. No piping will be used in the tunnel. According to engineers, the tunnel can be developed to carry between 1,250,000 and 200,000,- li00 gallons a day. Boring for Two Years Borings ivhich have been con- &lucted for the past two years, to determine the depth and con- tinuity of bedrock uIider Lions'ate,have cost $50.000. In his budget, 41r.
