period of peak demand approached. With the
acquisition of the 2100 gph unit, two of the 600

Because of the large influx of personnel at
Elmer due to the evacuation of the northern
islands in Eniwetok Atoll, it became necessary
to increase the Elmer plant capacity. Units
were available from the rolled-up camps. During
the month of June, consumption at Elmer aver-
aged 142,331 gallons per day. To meet this
demand, one additional 600 gph unit and seven
200 gph units were installed. This installation
provided a plant consisting of one 2100 gph
unit, eight 600 gph units, and seven 200 gph
units with a total daily rated capacity of 199,
200 gallons. With a firm capacity based on 75
per cent of rated capacity, the plant capacity
at this time was 149,400 gallons.
The average daily per capita consumption
at each camp is shown in Table 4-14.
