The following notice has been distributed by the Water Authori ty to all householders in the areas mentioned.

Repairs to No. 2 Pump at the Pokfulam Road Pumping Station having been completed it is now possible. to augment the supply to the above Districts

On and after Wednesday, the 18th instant, a continuous or twenty-four hours' supply will be attempted, although the average supply available will then only be three-quarters of the average nor- mal supply.

J

To make this a success, con- sumers will require to exercise a certain amount of oversight over their servants, so that individual house consumption will be reduced to threequarters of, the previous normal consumption.

An approximate figüre for nor mal supply can be obtained on ag plication at the Office of the Water Authority.

It is suggested that the surest way of checking over-consumption Is to read the meter daily, a matter of a few seconds only, and having arrived at a figure for, daily con sumption insist that this figure be not exceeded.

The Meters.

A meter has four dials indicat- ing tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds and tens of gallons. To read the meter commence with TSE tens of thousanda and work down to the tens, reading the lower figure on each dial in every ease. For example, if the pointer is be- tween 6 and 7, six would be read, or if between 0 and 1 zero would be read and go on."

The advantages of a continuous supply apart from the general convenience of having water in the taps at all times are many, includ- ing a fair distribution throughout all districts Including the highest houses, cleaner, and puror water, less damage to mains and house services.

Should the average available supply be overdrawn, there will be no alternative but a return to the intermittent system of supply.

It is hoped that consumers will loyally support the Government in this matter.
