Bratteboro will have high prcssm
water service on ana after April 3d. TT
hailffs have notified the BratteboI
Water Works company To turn on u
n high pressure an that time and, unlc
es something unforeseen arises To proven
the high pressure system will be give
Ia its first practical trial then. Most of II
houses have been equipped with pre-
IN | sure reducing valves and there is lit
of danger of breaks in the water pipes Il
side the houses. Whether the pipes b
ce tween the houses and the street mail
will stand the pressure Is another ma
r ter. Some of the plumbers believe tn
the high pressure will burst about IA
tie of these pipes in the places where tn
are badly rusted from being in q
all ground so long. 1t was on account
the possibility of bursting these pip
z. that the bailffs delayed ordering t
high pressure turned on until the co
r ditions for repairs were more favoral
than they were last fall
