All damage done the meter by freezing or by hot water poured on or forced back through the meter is charged to the consumer. PROTECT YOUR METER TODAY. Frozen Pipes And Meters ——— — T If pipes are frozen they may be thawed in some cases by wrapping cloths around them and pourimr * hot water on. If there is a bad case of frozen pipes or if a house is to be closed for the winter it is best to secure ihe services oi a competent plumber. Do not pour hot water on the meter. Do not build a fire on the meter as it will ruin the rubber piston and celluloid register. In case of a frozen meter call this department before the same thaws out and causes a damage to your property and a waste of water. Sill Cocks --- , \ For Sprinkling . Sill cocks or house faucets on the side of the house should be shut off in the basement before freezing weather and when this is done, the faucet should be opened so as to admit air, which will cause the water to run out at the stop and waste in the basement. This procedure should be followed when it is desired to drain the house pipes. Air must be admitted at the top to force the water out below.

i’ests of city water are furnished the State Board of Health and their analysis and report is on file in the office of the City Clerk for your inspection.
