To keep that much water coursing in the 115 miles of water lines beneath the city requires the full-time attention of about 28 men in the City Water De- jartment.

Water users in most of the city pay according to the read- ngs on the meter. However hose who live in the old City of Alameda have no meters and are charged a flat $6.80 a month.
