2. At same time storage in Plover Cove had reached 4,400 m.g. above temporary draw-off level. This is not, repeat not, included above because further study of salinity problems shows that use of this water will be limited by amount of fresh water available to dilute it.

3. Further heavy rainfall in 24 hours to 0900 today increased storage to 14,829 million gallons (Plover Cove 6,280).

4. Temporary 24-hour supply starts tomorrow. Announcement of new supply zones and hours later this week. Full text by Press cable to your Information Department.
