North Platte, Nebr. l tf& Dear..Sir: ' it v- A alioi ?. jA tap ikKw, '(t ft' -i The examination of the sample of water which bu recently sent to State Health Inspector for examin- ibn gave thefollowing results: No of bacteria present per c. c. 1 10 There were no colon bacilli present. There was no evidence of contamination from any source whatever. Tli number of bacteria present was exceedingly small. iOne rarely, finds a sample of water which'contains so few bacteria and it is only in the rarest occasions that so few are encountered in a sample sent from a distance. This examination shows this water to be exceedingly good for domestic purposes. In my opinion this water at this examination was made was absolutely above suspicion. Very truly yours, 1-1. H.

Tho notice of water consumers is called to Sec. 3 of tho ordinanco where it states that "Bills must bo paid quarterly on the first day of each quarter and 5 per cent shall be added to nil bills which nro delinquent more than 20 days". April 20th is tho last day of tho quarter on which water bills can be paid without having the 5 per cant added. All bills paid after April 20th will have G per cent added to them as the ordinance providos. Please bear this in mind and bo prompt so it will not be necessary to make this extra charge. As we havo more water this year and larger pumping capaeity there will only be four rules put into forco in re gard to sprinkling lawns but these will hi enforced. Rule 1. Consumers may sprinkle lavns on any dnyin tho week from 5 a. m. ""to 9 p. m . Rule 2. All wnter for lawns must be ued through a sprinkler or nozzle with i inch outlet nnd mus.t not be run th tough hose without a nozzle unless consumer is on n meter and paying meter rntes. Rule 3. All lawn sprinklers and other outlots must he shut oft' whenever tho fm whistle blows for a fire and must remain closed until notice is given that tho fire is out bv one lonir blast of the fire whisile. Rule 4. Tho firo whistle will be blown at 9 p. m. nnd all lawn sprinklers and other outlots must bo shut oft at that time. Tho penalty for violation of any of the ubovo rules will bu afineof$r00, the consumer ordered to put in n meter and pay meter rates or the shutting oft of the water. There will be times when it will be necossary to shut oft certain portions of tho city for a short time in order to make repairs or now connections. As far as practicable notice of such shut out will bo given in advance our as this cannot always be given in advance I make the following statements: Should you find the water bhut oft and you have a hot fire in tho stove, open the hot water faucet and allow it to re main open until water is turned on aeain. This allows tho steam to es cape and will prevent damage to your ( stove or piping. Should wator romain l off over i hour call up the water ofllco I by 'phone and we will tell you how j much longer the wnter will be shut oft or instruct you what to do.
