THE RECENT RAINS AND THE WATER SUPPLY.
ته
Yesterday, in honordance with the notice issued by Hon. F. A. Cooper, Water Authority, the water supply of the colony was limited to a few users, and it is an absolute certainty that residents will have to enffer this curtailment until the beginning of the rainy scasez next year, unless we are in the meantime visited by prolonged tropical rains, and it is now almost useless to hope for such ratas. On Monday morning Tylam coservoir contained only 205,000,000 gallons, whorens the capacity before the dam was raised was 313,000,000 gallons, Pokfulam neervoir contained 37,000,000, and its holding opacity is 86,230,000 gallons. It will be seen from these figures that the outlooks for the dry season is anything bat cheerful, and every resident is in duty bound to see that act a uno of water is wasted or missed. With the axer cies of onlinary caro on the part of the con. eight gallons por hond per day until April, but of scorse it the water is improperly used even that allowance will have to be materialy reduced.
