I Fearful of the effects of a

Water Works Notice!
The Morganton Water Works Com
pany respectfully call the attention of
their customers to the danger of freez
ing, which attends all exposed water
pipes in winter.
Each private l'ne should have a drip
cock located at the lowest point on the
supply pipe and well below the frost
line. Whenever a freeze is threatened
(and no chances should be taken) th re
cock should be given a quarter turn,
which will cut off the water from the
street and at the same time allow the
contents of the service pipe to escape.
A spigot in the bouse should be opened
to admit air in order to entirely empty
the pipe. This is a very important
matter, as frozen water pipes cause
gTeal inconvenience and frequent loss.
Any special information or assistance
will be gladly furnished by any em
ploye of the company.
