“This project consisted of the construction of an impounding reservoir on the Saline River, 40 miles from Little Rock, a 40-mile transmission line, and the filter plant illustrated on this page. The plant, constructed at an approximate cost of $225,000, has a capacity of 15,000,000 gallons per day. The filter building is a fireproof structure faced with brick laid in a diamond pattern and trimmed with stone.
The entire project was completed in February 1938 at a construction cost of $3,120,760 and a project cost of $3,477,788.”
