| The high pressure water service Will
/ not be turned on until spring. In a
! special meeting OF the baiiffs Monday
| evening 1t was decided to postpone in
: definitely having the high pressure turned
on. The bailffs received formal notliica d
! ton Monday evening that the BratueborO
/ Water Works company was ready to
! turn on the high pressure from the
! Pleasant Valley reservoir on all sections
north Of Elliot street Inquiry among tae
/ plumbers showed that nearly all the or
. ders for pressure reducers In that section
had been filled and few days would
/ have Sufficcd to I'll the remaining orders.
/ II was known however. that some people
! had neglected or refused 20 put on these
safety devices and that tAe plumbing in
d their houses would not stand the extra
/ pressure. The condition Of the service
| pipes leading from the mains to the
/ houses is such that many breaks may be
| expected when the aigh pressure is
turned on. even with the safety devices.
| 1t was felt by the bailiffs that the people
would be better satisfied If their troubles
! were postponed until warm weather. when
repairs could be made more easily, and
! the Inconvenience OF being without water
/ for day or two would b. less trying.
/ Permission to turn on the high pressure
/ will not be given until the ground thaws
1 in the spring, probably some time in
/ April. Whatever loss the water company
will b." put To on account Of the rental
/ Of the high pressure hydrants will be
made up by the village. II was decided
also to stop any further work on install
/ ing hydrants this winter on account Of
/ the heavy expense Of installation at this
season. one or two more will be- in
stalled as work ON them has already
been begun. The contract between the
bailiffs and the water company provides
that the hydrants shall bee installed by
the company. but the actual cost shall
be borne by the village The hydrants
which have been installed since freezing
weather began have been put in at an
expense far above the cost of summer
installation.
