OFFENDERS TO BE PRO-
SECUTED
DRASTIC RESTRICTIONS
Under powers conferred upon it the Wellington City Council. from today cuts out the use of water for ornamental purposes, such as fountains, ponds, etc., and the watering of gardens by hosing is absolutely prohibited until further notice. This applies to all installations, whether a meter is fixed or not, and non-compliance will be followed by prosecution whenever detected.
It is requested that all persons use the utmost economy in the use of water for any purpose whatever, as, if the storage gets much lower, the quality of the water may deteriorate, and in addition the quantity available for fighting - fires will be much reduced. One method of saving water is by substituting shower baths for plunge baths. All taps should be visited occasionally to see that they have not been left turned on by- children or others.
