WATER SUPPLIES TO INDUSTRY
A WATER AUTHORITY SPOKESMAN SAID TODAY THAT, WHILE EVERY ENDEAVOUR WAS BEING MADE TO SAFEGUARD, THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF WATER RESTRICTIONS, THIS DID NOT NECESSARILY IMPLY THAT ALL FACTORIES WOULD CONTINUE TO RECEIVE A 24-HOUR MAINS SUPPLY WHEN RESTRICTIONS ARE INTRODUCED.
+UHILE FULL SUPPLY CAN BE MAINTAINED TO CLEARLY DEFINED INDUSTRIAL AREAS AND ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING MADE FOR THIS, IT MAY NOT BE OPERATIONALLY PRACTICAL TO DO SO IN THE CASE OF FACTORIES LOCATED IN AREAS WHICH ARE PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL,+ THE SPOKESMAN POINTED OUT.
+ IN ANY EVENT THE MAJORITY OF FACTORIES HAVE CONSIDERABLE WATER STORAGE FACILITIES AND, PROVIDED ECONOMIES ARE EXERCISED, THIS WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS DURING RESTRICTION HOURS.
AUTHO +ONLY IN CASES OF EXTREME HARDSHIP COULD THE WATER AUTHORITY CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF MAKING SPECIAL SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS. EACH SUCH CASE WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED ON ITS MERITS,+ HE ADDED.
