HOLIDAY is TRYING TO
EDUCATE WATER-USERS
Good Advice Is Given to Resi-
dents by Superintendent of
WaterwOrks.
N order to preserve the water supply

In order to preserve the water supply
the water works department is attempt
ing to educate water users in the art
of saving water. Two or three rules,
like the following, are being propa-
gated:
Don't sprinkle without using noz-
zle.
Don t leave the water turned on and
thus unnecessarily allow it to flow.
Salt Lake City is not threatened with
any particular scarcity of water this
summer, Water Works Superintendent
HOLIDAY says, but consumers frequently
sprinkle without a nozzle and leave the
water turned on even after they are
done with it and this is likely to cause
temporary scarcity of water.
For instance, the mains in the north
ern and northeastern parts of the city
are rather small and when there is an
unusually heavy consumption, either
there or in lower parts Of the city, the
mains are exhausted and there is a
temporary cutting off of the supply.
This will not occur to any great extent,
Mr.. Holiday says, if consumers will be
more saving
The rules regarding sprinkling with
out nozzle and allowing water to run
afterward will be made compulsory, Mr.
Holiday said Wednesday morning.
