Subject / Installation of a water meter
In view of our directorate's need for an independent water meter device, and since the meter is currently
placed in the part not occupied by us, which reflects negatively on the scarcity of the water quantity
that we need, we therefore request you to kindly work on installing a special water meter device for our
directorate building, which carries the number 1/555, Al-Sinak district, hoping that you will give this
matter the required attention as quickly as possible. We attach herewith a certified copy of the letter from
the Presidency of the Jewish Community (the property owner) in which it pledges to cover the required expenses
by you, with appreciation.
