TO ALL CASA LOMA WATER UTILITY USERS
RESTRICTION OF NOTE
This week Casa Loma Water Utilities Ltd. received notice from the Drought Operations Team of the Water, Land and Resource Stewardship regarding drought conditions in the province.
The Ministry is asking all water users to voluntarily reduce water consumption for essential and non-essential purposes. The current level of Okanagan Lake is at a historical low, and further drops are expected as the summer advances. This is beginning to affect our pumping capacity.
It could also have devastating effects on fish, wildlife and agriculture, this year and future years. We are asking all users of Casa Loma Water Utilities to reduce their water consumption.
To avoid any further curtailments, we feel the best way to do our part is:
• If your yard is watered with an underground system reduce your sprinkling days from 3 days per week to 2 days per week. At the same time reduce the time each zone runs by approximately 30%. Maintain the odd/even sprinkling days with the same times. No
watering in the heat of the day.
• For manual sprinkling curtail yours watering time by approximately 30% and do not water in the heat of the day. Maintain the odd/even sprinkling days with the same times.
• No hand car-washing or driveway hosing
• Gardens can be hand watered
Voluntarily adhering to these additional restrictions will hopefully prevent the Ministry from mandating “no irrigation”. These drought conditions are historical and demand our attention.
We ask for your full cooperation.
Thank you in advance.
