1t is somewhat cheering to be assured on ofncial
authority that the now OF Croton water into the
city Is suflcent for all present demands, though
II Is found necessary to draw upon the reserved
supplies in the main reservoirs. 1t Is a fact not
readily credited that the consumption now in
midwinter, is In excess OF the demands OF the
warmest days IN summer the quantity OF water
delivered III The city being 10000, 900 gallons per
DAY. The practice OF permitting water TO run at
night to p event freezing IN the leaden pipes has
become 50 general that more water Is allowed to
purposes III the daytime. Economy In the use Of
water is advised, though It Is admitted That the
reservoirs Will, without doubt, prove equal to any
emergency. The natural now oil the CrotOn, now
ever is not sufficient, ana the watershed OF the
Croton region Is very dry.
