The Ministry of Health require us to issue a Boil Advisory if we switch back to the Crofton Lake supply. You will be advised in advance if a Boil Advisory is issued. We must all conserve water now to avoid severe water shortages, which may result in very strict regulations later this summer. Residents with ODD numbered houses may sprinkle on ODD numbered days. Residents may use a hose with spray nozzle to water trees, shrubs, flowers, or vegetables on any day of the week.
Water lawns only when they start to appear slightly wilted, then apply one inch of water.
Over- watering weakens the plant s root system, making the lawn vulnerable to disease and pests. Watering infrequently will promote deep root growth that will efficiently use the water in the soil. Set your sprinkler to avoid watering patios, driveways, and walks. Use timers on sprinklers. Sweep your driveway and walkway instead of washing with a hose.
