Contrary to the reports in the Boston papers yesterday, the various swimming pools at Harvard will not be drained for the winter because of water shortage, according to a statement by T. W. Good, of the Cambridge Water department. The report had previously been circulated that the reservoir in Lincoln, which supplies the city of Cambridge, was so low that no hockey rinks might be maintained, and that all swimming pools would have to be drained during the winter months.
Good stated that there was ample supply of water for legitimate domestic and fire usage, but that there had been a great deal of criminal waste in turning on hydrants for long periods at a time in an attempt to flood areas for skating.
