WATER LOW
WARNING OF


Owing to the shortage Of water
In Casper at the present time, the
city water department gave warn.
ing this morning that irrigation De-
tween the hours of Q a. m. and s
p. m. would be prohibited until
further notice. Such a drastic step
has been made absolutely neces-
sary.
Elkhorn creek has quit running
and consequently one source of
supply has been stopped. The
only source now is the two pump
ing plants which give 1000, 900 gall
Ions a day. Distributing this
among Casper's $4,000 inhabitants,
which is a conservative estimate,
the figures show that there are
less than 1e0 gallons per capita a
day.
The water in tho reservoir yes
terday dropped "a feet in eight
hours. Such a drop is unusual and
is also dangerous to the safety of
the inhabitants of the city.
Even during the hours in which
people will be allowed to irrigate,
that is, from 8 p. m. until 0 a. m.
they should not waste water but
should distribute 1t intelligently.
