This report provides information relative to the development of an emergency water supply for the Town of Provincetown. A recent gasoline spill in the vicinity of the South Hollow Road area has limited the use of one of the Town's major water supply wells. As the tourist water consumption reaches its maximum level this summer, a shortage in water supply will be experienced unless action is taken immediately to obtain emergency supplies. Investigations have been made relative to the anticipated water demands, potential for reduction through water conservation, and temporary supplies which may be obtained. Seven alternative water supplies were considered and a recommended water supply scheme is included in this report. In a separate study, Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. and Geraghty and Miller, Inc. , are evaluating the extent of the gasoline spill and the potential for future use of the South Hollow well field. The results of that report may not be available until late in the summer. For this reason, the temporary supply must be established before the fate of the affected well field is determined.
