The attention of consumers has been drawn to the fact that, in houses supplied on
the constant system, all danger of drinking stale or contaminated water from cisterns
may readily be avoided if the following recommendation is carried into practice, viz.,
to attach a small draw-off tap to the communication-pipe which supplies the cistern
from the main in the street, from which water may be drawn at any moment, day or
night, direct from the works, thereby taking full advantage of any efforts made by
the Companies to purify the water to the utmost extent. This water should be used
for drinking and cooking, and the contents of cisterns made use of for washing,
flushing, baths, &c.
