In moat cases such waste of water is due tocare- lessness or lack of forethougnt*o5 the part of consumers. A dripping faucet allowed to go unrepaired soon wastes in dollars and cents more than, a new faucet costs. Qenerally, a new washer is all that io required to stop such leakage. Generally speaking, water has s o real value to the average person. tilt' O'-Titsiofi jjrovcil rt most w- joynblo out 1 .
