1t was ascertained Tuesday that
the force of water in the pipes
which supply the village was not up
to the usual standard, and upon
visiting the large dam it was
found that the stream from the
spring which feeds the reservoir
was frozen solid, thereby shutting
of the supply. The water in the
reservoir was very low, as aside
from supplying the regular wants
of consumers, a large number Of
faucets throughout town had been
allowed to run continuously during
the extreme cold weather for over
two weeks. The trouble has been
remedied and the system is in good
working order again.
