It is hereby notified that on and after Tuesday next, the 14th instant, owing to the scarcity of water, the supply will only be turned on between the hours of 6 and 9 A.M. and 6 and 8 P.M.

As it is anticipated that the pressure in the mains will, under the above circumstances, be insuffi- cient to secure the delivery of water at the levels of the upper floors of houses in portions of the city, the attention of the public is directed to the numerous street fountains fixed throughout the city from which a limited supply can be obtained.
