RUTLAND has PLENTY OF WATER.
Water Commits Toner Joseph NJ. Davis
states that there is MS much water in the
Rutland reservoir at present as is usual
at this time of year. and thinks there
is no danger of "a scarcity of water. as
is the case IN many other Vermont
places. Mr.. Davis says that many water
pipes leading from the mains to the
houses are being frozen. and unless peo-
ple are moro careful! about shutting off
their water supply. they may have to
so without it for some time. as leaks
are hard to locate when the ground is
frozen. since last Saturday morning a
big leak in the water main on Williams
street has been in existence. and has moi
vet been located. The only way to dc
IS to dig until tho leak is found. says
MIR. Davis. Last year 200 water pipes lead
ing to houses We're frozen. according to
MIR. Davis. an unusual thing. and this
year there have been comparatively as
many.
