■ It’s not uncommon for a water heater
to reach the age of retirement on its 10th birthday.
Some may just dribble water . . . others rupture
with resulting damage and yet others fail to
put out as much hot water as they did in their
youthful years.
If your water heater is approaching its 10th birthday

manager about the value of a modem electric
replacement.
And, incidentally, should an electric water
heater ever need servicing, your Public Service
_ manager will take care of it for you.
