**
THE MAIN EXCHANGE TELEPHONE NUMBER OF WATER SUPPLIES DEPARTMENT'S ARGYLE STREET SUB-OFFICE WILL BE CHANGED FROM 395 3131 TO 399 4399 NEXT MONDAY (DECEMBER 6).
THE PRESENT TELEPHONE SYSTEM, WHICH REQUIRES SWITCHBOARD OPERATORS ΤΟ CONNECT PHONE CALLS TO INDIVIDUAL EXTENSIONS, WILL BE REPLACED BY A NEW SYSTEM OPERATING THROUGH INDIVIDUAL DIRECT LINES.
"IN THE FIRST MONTH AFTER THE CHANGE, CALLERS WILL BE TOLD TO USE THE NEW DIRECT LINES IN FUTURE, BUT OPERATORS WILL STILL FORWARD THEIR CALLS TO INDIVIDUALS EXTENSIONS," A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY (MONDAY).
HE SAID THE NEW ARRANGEMENT COULD HELP то STREAMLINE COMMUNICATION AND IMPROVE EFFICIENCY OF THE DEPARTMENT.
