STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION
Water distillation plants were established on the islands of Eniwetok
Parry, Japtan, Runit, Biijiri, and Engebi for the production of distilled
water for drinking purposes, bath and washroom facilities, mess halls,
and other Users! requirements such as photographic laboratory, C.M.R plant,
etc, The main distillation plants on each island were augmented by auxiliary Army field distillation units when demand exceeded capacity of installed plants, Prior to completion of the permanent plants on each of
the islands mentioned, the water was supplied by batteries of Army field
units, Cleaver-Brooks model 17-A, and Badger units.
A great deal of difficulty was encountered in both fresh and salt
water distribution systems because of breaking and fracturing of transite
