Restrictions Lifted
On SprinkIing

Elective at once. the regulations
covering the hours of sprinkhng
which were adopted in July are
discontinued. The assistance which
our customers and the public gave
us during the period when the draw
down for sprinkling lawns and gar
dens was SO heavy is very much APP
preciated. a
An exceptionally heavy demand
was made upon the water system
during the hot and dry period of the
current season for sprinkling pur-
poses, causing excessive consump-
ton peaks. Through the ALLEGATION
of sprinkling hours the consumption
of water was spread more uniform
ly over each "a hour period, at the
same time providing ample supply
for all uses. 1t is important that
consumers be given protection
equally and impartially and it is
with this objective in mind that
some means of regulation became
necessary during abnormal weather
conditions, such as experienced this
season, with as little inconvenience
as possible.
