New well at Fircrest. This is one of two new wells drilled in Fircrest to replace an antiquated pump-spring system installed in 1907 when the town was first developed. L. V. Denny of Tacoma received a contract to drill both wells. With pumps installed and reservoirs completed, the town's new water system went into service on June 17, 1941, yielding 1,500 gallons of water per minute as compared to 200 gallons from the old water system.
