Water Net Too Plentiful
On account of the very dry weath
er which has been prevailing the well
that supplies the city cf Union ha3
been rather tardy in supplying the
amount of water required for the use
cf the town. The officers have there
fore issued a manifesto :nting that
water consumers be restrained from
using water for sprinkling lawns or
in the gardens and for the watering
cf stock, but shall use it only for
household consumption. It is hoped
that by doing this tho supply may
hold out and be sufficeient to main
tain at all times a sufficient reserve
for use in fighting fires. Otherwise,
it will be necessary to pump water
direct from the Weeping Water, and
this would undoubtedly not be fit for
home use and drinking purposes. It
takes an awful let of water, applied
constantly to do a lawn much good
this dry weather and if done at the
danger of hampering the supply for
household use, would cause a great
inconvenience to all water consum
ers of the town, to say nothing of in
creasing the fire hazard due to an in
adequate supply. Many towns over
the state, faced with a similar dry
ing up of their supply wells, are put
ting similar restrictions into effect.
