INDUSTRIAL ISTS URGED TO SAVE WATER
******
THE DIRECTOR OF WATER SUPPLIES, MR WILLIAM TUCKER, TODAY APPEALED TO ALL INDUSTRIALISTS TO PLAY THE IR PART IN THE COMMUNITY'S EFFORT TO SAVE WATER.
HE SAID THAT ALTHOUGH SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS HAD BEEN MADE FOR FACTOR IES IN INDUSTRIAL ZONES TO CONTINUE RECEIVING FULL SUPPLY DURING WATER RESTRICTIONS, THIS DID NOT RELIEVE THEM OF THE IR DUTY TO ECONOMISE ON THE USE OF WATER AND AVOID WASTE.
LETTERS WOULD BE SENT TO ALL INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISHMENTS ENLISTING THE IR CO-OPERATION AND SUGGESTING VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH THEY COULD HELP SAVE WATER.
+WE HAVE ALSO SET UP A HOT LINE (5-7900212) SO THAT INDUSTRIAL ISTS WHOSE FACTORIES ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE INDUSTRIAL ZONES CAN CONTACT US IF THEY EXPERIENCE ANY DIFFICULTY DURING RESTRICTION HOURS, HE SAID.
MR TUCKER URGED FACTORY OWNERS TO EDUCATE THE IR EMPLOYEES IN SAVING WATER.
IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT REGULAR LEAKAGE TESTS WERE MADE PARTICULARLY IN REGARD TO CONCEALED PIPING TO AVOID WASTE, HE SAID.
CHECKS SHOULD ALSO BE MADE FOR OVERFLOWING TANKS, WORN TAP WASHERS AND OTHER POSSIBLE DEFECTS.
