HUNTING WATER LEAKS
Investigating Mysterious Depletion Of
Middlebury Reservoir

At the request Of Water Commission
er Phelps N SWEET J o, Howarth has
been visiting every house and bush
ness place in the village this week hunt
ing for leaks in the water pipes Not
withstanding recent rains, there has
been a shortage OF water so serious
that the house supply pipes are cut of
every night The commissioners have
come to the conclusion that there is
serious leakage either in the mains or
that a number OF small leaks at fau-
Gets and other outlets is causing
great loss OF water,
A joke Of the situation was reported
yesterday noon when Mr., Howarth, up
on going to Commissioner SWEETS house
to report on his days work, stepped
into a soft spot of earth close by the
SWEET house and upon observation OF
conditions there he concluded that there
was at least one big leak in the main
at that point, Last week one leak was
found in the main near the school house,
In addition to these troubles however,
it is being observed that a good many
small leaks and careless uses OF water
at residences and business places are
helping to cause the depletion II you
have a leaky faucet, have it repaired at
once in the interest of water conserva-
