h WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 EE Municipal Column Edited by the Village Manager CARE OF WATER METERS It has been the experience of the Water Department of the Village that considerable unnecessary expense to residents is caused every year dur- ing cold weather by their failure to properly protect the water meter in- uation has been. devised, although there are a number of combinations of check valves and relief valves on the market which are fairly reliable, but rather expensive to install. Careful operation of the heating plant, during extremely cold weather, will obviate the necessity of the con- sumer paying for repairs to meters damaged by hot water. The trouble always occurs when the furnace is be- ing forced to adequately heat the house on days when the temperature is very low. When the water in the from the hot water faucet so that cold water may be admitted to reduce the temperature.

Rule No. 26 of the Water and Light Department carries the following provision: "No person taking water from the waterworks of the Village shall per- mit his service pipe or fixtures con- nected therewith to be out of good re- pair or unprotected from frost. He also must provide ample protection against damage to the meter from any cause whatever and maintain its location convenient and accessible for inspection and removal." Water meters are damaged from two causes: namely, frost and hot water. There is little danger from damage by frost in the case of meters instal- led in basements, as ordinarily the basement temperature seldom falls below freezing. The principal dan- ger lies in the possibility of a base- ment window being blown open dur- ing a heavy storm and allowing the meter to freeze before it is discover- ed. Householders should therefore see that all basement windows are properly secured before the advent of extremely cold weather. Damage from hot weather is caused by boiling water being forced back through the meter against the pres- sure in the mains, as a result of ov- er-heated water heaters, connected to to heating plant of the building.
