MUST CONSERVE
WATER TO AVOID
SERIOUS FAMINE
City Commissioners Hassler
to Prosecute Persons
Who Waste Supply

Because OF the serious wasting of
water during the last few weeks,
Commissioner Samuel +. Hassler to-
day issued a warning to all residents
of the city not to allow any faucets,
spigots or other outlets remain open
in order to keep pipes from freez-
ing. The water depth in the city
reservoir is slightly above nine feet,
less than one days supply, and with
the two old pumps at the city
pumping station in use a breakdown
would mean water famine until
repairs were made.
Residents are urged in order to
prevent pipes from freezing to turn
off the water at the pet cock pro-
vided for that purpose. 1t is usually
located in the cellar.
While some of the industrial
plants have been closed for the last
few days. the water in the reservoir
has been receding slowly, due en-
tirely, city officials say, to the vast
ing of water by letting faucets open.
Commissioner Hassler's warning
follows:
1T has come to the knowledge
OF the Department of Public Safety
that an enormous quantity of water
is being wasted by consumers by
allowing hydrants, spigots and other
water openings to run continuously
particularly during the night, to
| prevent freezing.
This practice has developed tc
such an extent as to seriously jeo-
pardize the safety OF the community
by materially decreasing the city's
normal water supply, and it is i'm.
perative that this wastage be stop.
ped forthwith.
THE city's water regulations pro.
vide:
Any consumer or other person
who shall allow any stop to be turn.
ed on unnecessarily, or the water
to be wasted, shall have the supply
of water shut off, and the amount
paid therefor shall be forfeited
When the water shall be shut OFF
for a violation of this regulation, il
shall not again be turned on until
all back charges shall have been
paid, and a permit purchased from
the city treasurer, who shall charge
two dollars therefor
" No person shall wilfully open a
stop, or leave any opening in a con-
dition so as to permit the water to
waste, whether such person be a wa
ter tenant or not.
"It shall be the duty of every
police and sanitary officer, and ev-
cry officer and employe of the de-
partment to give prompt and imme-
diate information of any waste OF
water to the Mayor or any alderman
of the city, and to appear as q wit
ness in every such case, and any
officer or employe neglecting or fail
ing to do so, shall be subject to in
stant dismissal by the proper au-
thorities.'
'In addition to the penalties above
prescribed for violation of the regu-
lations, the regulations further pro-
vide that all persons violating the
same shall be subject to a fine OF
five dollars and costs of prosecu-
ton.
THE foregoing regulations will be
enforced to the letter. All employees
of this department have been sc
instructed, and the assistance OF
the police department has been re-
quested.
"All persons who have been vio-
lating the same are hereby noti-
fled to Immediately discontinue such
violation, or suffer the penalties pro-
Vided."
