Citizens are advised to exercise economy in the uso of the water supply, in view of the continuation of tho spell of dry weather. Tho City Engineer says there is plenty of water in sight at Wainui-o-mata — in fact, water is still running to waste there, emphasising the urgent need for increased storage accommodation — but Mr. Morton has not seen the stream so low since he becamo City Engineer. If there was likely to bo rain within a week or two thero would be no need for citizens to be sparing in tho use of water, but if there Is to be another prolonged spell of hot and dry weathor, then strict care will be necossary. Mr. Morton estimates that from three hundred thousand to four hundred thousand gallons of water daily are running to waEte from tho Wainui dam, in which twenty-six million gallons are stored. Mptsri.
