LAS VEGAS LAND AND WATER COMPANY Las Vegas MAR 30 1940 Considerable publicity was given the subject of water shortage in the city of Las Vegas last summer, during the hot months, and summer will soon be with us again. City Ordinance No. 247, which is still in effect, prohibits the waste of water by (Sec. 2-b): "Using water from any water system belonging to any public utility for the purpose of cooling any refrigerator, refrigerating machine, cooler, cooling plant, cooling system, air conditioning machine or apparatus, engine or motor, where said water, after being so used, is permitted to flow into a sewer or cesspool or onto the ground, provided however, that the use of water for such cooling purposes is not prohibited where, after being so used, it is collected, re-cooled and re-used and is not permitted to flow into a sewer, cesspool, or onto the ground;" We are doing our part for the common benefit of the community, by providing additional wells, new transmission mains to the city, and by replacing wooden distributing mains with now ones of cast iron. Won't you do your part by providing a recapture tower, if you are not already so equipped? LAS VEGAS LAND AND WATER CO.
