Show By RUTH S. PAYNE 295-4287 One of our most precious natural resources water has become the most talked about subject in recent weeks. The lack of it due to the present drouth causes great concern with resource developers and the common supply and demand for daily, use by home owners and commercial users. Our small city of Woods Cross is using more water at present than ever before. According to Water Master Delton Nelson, the reservoirs are being emptied as quickly as they are filled. The city also al-so has two wells which are running at capacity, and use at the reservoirs is still at the maximum. Water use has been heavier in the past two weeks than any other time in the city's history. Current water use rate is one million gallons per day. Broken down into more useable usea-ble figures, 1,000 gallons per family per day, or 250 gallons per person. At the recent City Council Meeting, Councilman Charles Payne urged citizens to conserve this valuable resource by checking all leaking taps, lines, use of bricks in toilets, and using less water where feasible. After the recent report of water use, Mr. Payne noted that if present trends continue, con-tinue, water rates will have to be raised to curtail excessive use. He urges residents again, to do their part in conserving, that everyone will be more alert to forthcoming problems and that cooperation coopera-tion will assist in water conservation. con-servation.
