Shelby Spending $1,500 to Add Additional Water Filtering Plant, 1914

“Shelby Adding to Water Supply” from the Thursday, July 23, 1914, issue of the High Point Review

Shelby—Patronage of the local water plant, municipally owned, has outgrown its present capacity and an additional filter plant is being installed at a cost of $1,500. At times the water supply has run low and the sprinkling of streets was abandoned for several weeks, but in less than 10 days the new filter will have been installed and the supply will be ample to meet the requirements of the city for years to come.
