,s Vegas - February 3» 1950 w 23-3-3 W 2 3-3-3-A Mr. ¥m. Reinhardt: The survey recently completed by represBntatlves of the Union Pacific, the Las Vegas Land a.nd Water Co. and the City of Las Vegas developed valuable information for the purpose of water conservation. Of special interest is General Water Service Foreman Anderson's estimate that 201 refrigerating machines using water to cool their colls and running thence to the sewer, waste over 1,150,000 gallons per day. In this con-nection, I will appreciate your approval or comments on December 13th. Mr, Anderson also supervised the monthly weir measurements tkken at each of the wells and springs the last day of January, computed the time used in each case and estimated the waste from this source at 1 ,287,000 ^ gallons. We are thus placed in the position of wasting more water ourselves on the two days we weir the wells than the combined wastage from refrigeration machines for one day. directed my attention on one:- or two occasions to the requirement that artesian wells must be equipped with meters. the proposed form of notification to offenders over signature of City official, per sample attached to my letter •CA*S ''M *M 9 The State Engineer's representative herehhas W.
