It may be as well to repeat the instructions to householders which have been issued by the Waterworks Company by way of precaution against damage to the water service. Each night, the stop-cock should be closed, and the tap nearest to it opened in order to drain the water from all pipes in the house, a process which will be facilitated if other taps are' opened at the same time. All taps should be closed when the water has drained off. Care should especially be taken to see that filters are empty, since they are easily affected by frost.
Tu regard to hot water services, consumers are advised that if no water issues from the hot water tap, fire should at once be withdrawn from the kitchen range, and upon notice being given, the Company will advise as to what should be done.
