METERS TO CONSERVE
WATER SUPPLY

The question of water supply for
our cities and towns is discussed by
d. ii. Windsor in the February Popular
Mechanics. He calls attention to the
following important facts:
Gin the large cities of Europe regu-
lations strictly enforced reduce the
daily consumption to figures which to
our extravagant mode Of life seem ina
possible here. For instance, the total
amount of water, for all purposes, con-
sumed daily in Berlin is only 1s gal
Ions for each person, while New York
is using 135 gallons and Chicago 200
gallons. Berlin is metered; New York
and Chicago meter only the large con-
sumers. 1t has been claimed that a
reduced water consumption, or rather
pumpage, would increase the death
rate, but on this score the death rate is
20 per cent higher in New York than
Berlin, and the typhoid mortality three
times as great. The comparison may
not be entirely fair, as conditions Of
climate, quality and nature Of food,
sanitary regulations, milk supply and
other things may have some bearing.
but not sufficient to account for the
entire difference. While consumers
naturally protest against the meter sys-
tenn, it is evident no other system will
enforce economy or prevent unneces-
sary waste. As en- example, take any
building where electric light is includ-
ed in the rent. The tenants allow
lights to burn for hours at a time and
in unoccupied rooms because they feel
they are paying for all the burners all
the time, when as a matter of fact the
lease contemplates only a necessary use
of current.
sit should even be possible to make
the annual charge for water, under the
meter system, less to the householder
than on a fat yearly basis, because of
the saving in fuel on account of stop
ping waste, for the chief operating ex-
pense of waterworks is the fuel.o
