D. LOWBER SMITH, Deputy and Acting Commissioner of Public Works-

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS, COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE,

No. 31 CHAeIRRRs STREET, NEw YORK, November to, n886.

NOTICE TO CROTON WATER CONSUMERS.

NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN made to this Department by citizens claiming

reductions or rebates on bills for water supplied through meters, on the alleged ground of leakage caused by de-fective plumbing and worn-out service pipes, or by willful waste of water by tenants allowing the faucets to be turned on in full force in water-closets, sinks, etc., with. out the knowledge or consent of the owners of the prem-ises.

The plain object of the use ofwater-meters is to enable this Department to detect and check the useless and on-warrantable waste of an element so valuable and essential to the health and comfort of all the citizens, and this ob. ject can only be accomplished by enforcing payment for the water wasted.

Under the law all charges for water supplied through meters are a lien against the respective premises, and the law therefore holds the owner of the premises re-sponsible for the amount of water used or wasted.

Notice is therefore . Sven to all householders that,in all further applications for reduction of water rents, no allowance will he made on account of waste of water occurring through leaks, from defective service pipes or plumbing, or wasteful use of water by tenants or occu- pants of buildings, though such leakage or waste may have o,curred without the knowledge or consent of the owners of the buildings.

House-owners are further notified that whenever their premises become vacant, and are likely to remain vacant. they must notify this Department in writing, and that unless this requirement Is complied with no deductions in extra water rents will lie allowed for any portion of one year.

JOHN NEWTON, Commissioner of Public Works.

GRANTS OF LANDS UNDER WATER.

THE O\VNERS OF LANDS IN THE CITY OF New York, which were formerly under water, and

which were granted by the City of 15lew York, are noti-fied that nearly all of the grants of such lands contain covenants, on the part of the grantees, and their succes-sors and assigns, to maintain and keep in repair the adjacent streets. The condition of many of these streets is such as to make it necessary that they should be re-paired and repaved, and that the obligation resting upon the present owners of adjacent lots to do this work should now be enforced. Many of such owners have requested that such covenants be commuted, and wholly released,. upon the payment by them of a certain slim per lot.

The natter will shortly he presented to the Commis sinners of the Sinking Fund for their consideration, and the adjustment of the basis of commutation, and applica-tion for releases should therefore be made at once.

They may be sent to the undersigned. Dated NEW YORK CITY, August 7, 1888.
