WATER SUPPLY.
The continued absence of rain and the conse- quent scarcity of water in the Pokfulam Reservoir,
render it of urgent importance that great economy
should be exercised regarding the present dimin- ished supply.
Householders are earnestly requested to adopt
all possible precautions against a lavish use of
water obtained through the Mains from the
Reservoir, and they are desired to prohibit their
servants from procuring water from that source
for the irrigation of gardens.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office,
FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary,
Hongkong, 16th December, 1882.
