WATER IN MARAMA CRESCENT
TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. Residents of Maaraqia Orescent and vicinity am indignant in their complaints of a rather unpleasant surprise the City Council si rang on them this week. Shortly af er mid-day on Mon lay, housewives made the irritating discovery that the water had been turned off, and several hours elapsed before the taps commenced to run again. In the belief that there was good reason for the occurrence. and that the case was perhaps an isolated one, the inconvenience occasioned was borne with good grace, but since it has been repeated on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday between the same hours, householders have become somewhat wrathful. “It wouldn’t bo such a hardship on our wives," remarked aio resident to a “Dominion” reporter yesterday, "if we were given some sort of warning of th? council's intentions. It would be possible then 10 make some provision against a shortage just at the time when all the dishes have to be washed and preparations made for the evening meal. If the water is turned off for the same period to-day. and no warning is given us. I propose to collect as many of the residents in the locality as are available, and make personal representations to the Mayor.”
