TOLD To
USE LESS
WATER
Record Broken for Daily Con-
sumption-Police to Watch
for Masters

Alarmed over the increased con-
sumption Of water during the
present hot spell, j. S. Garland,
superintendent of the Water De-
partment today warned the people
Of Washington to cut down on
water use. In the twenty-four
hours ending at 8 a. m. today,
II, ,6O3, ,0O0 gallons of water was
consumed, exceeding all previous
records.
Serious consequences may re-
suit if consumption continues to
increase" Mr.. Garland said. "In
foryt-eight hours our pumps have
had a rest of only III hours while
they should have ten hours rest.
If there should be a breakdown,
there will be a shortage here"
Uses More Than Pumped.
Mr.. Garland also pointed out that
in the past forty-eight hours, the
city has been using more water
than was pumped. the excess COM
ing out of a small reserve supply.
He said the unusual consumption
is reducing the supply in the res.
ervoir at First and Bryant streets

registers 142 feet above mean low
tide and at o'clock today register.

said
Mr.. Garland said the consump.

koma. and neighboring sections.
The normal consumption during
hot weather is 100000 gallons,
but at o'clock today the consump-
ton for the past twentyfour hours
showed S.137, 900.
I'm these sections particularly,
the people must cut down on
water use" said Mr.. Garland, "the
two pumps, one of 100000 and
the other 100000 gallons c;4pac city
before. The pumps are getting
little rest
Superintendent Garland has
asked the police department to
vigorously enforce the poIcc regu-
lation which only permits watering
of lawns and flowers between and
s in the morning an afternoon.
There is plenty OF time during
these hours to water lawns" said
Mr.. Garland. yet yesterday
saw five persons watering lawns
about 4 o'clock. The hot sun was
pouring down on the grass and the
water was doing absolutely no
good. This is plain waste and
must. be stopped.
No Pavement Watering.
The regulations also provide that
during July, August and September
watering OF pavements and streets
is prohibited. Mr.. Garland urges
people to refrain this month from
watering pavements and streets.
The water consumption for the
past few days follows: Yesterday
II. .6O3, 900: Monday, 1854 900: Sun.
Friday, 66,O00,0 900 and Thursday
68 900 900.
The last high record for water
consumption was during a hot spell
in June last year when 76,500. 900
gallons were consumed in one day.
Mr.. Garland said the increased
use of water in the third high
service indicates the need for an
additional reservoir at Reno. He
plans to recommend TO the Com
missioner that land be purchased
for a reservoir adjoining Reno. The
land will cost approximately 5000
and the reservoir about $4,000 %
