Private wells and surface water from ponds and streams are excluded from this proâ€" The water restriction program does not include the following: * Car washing, * Flower, garden, and tree watering For townhouse units where the unit number is included in the municiâ€" pal address (e.g. Unit #101, 2 Main Street), the unit number will apply (i.e. the odd #101, and not the even 2 Main Street). The lawn watering restrictions involve an "odd/even day" system to reduce peaks in water demand. Properties with odd numbered municâ€" ipal addresses (e.g. 1, 3, 5, etc.), will be allowed to water the lawns only on odd calendar days. Properties with even numbered municipal addresses will be allowed to water the lawns only on even calendar days. _ _As part of a water conservation program, Halton Region Public Works Department is promoting a Regionâ€"wide reduction in the use of municipal water during the summer period, through a program of mandaâ€" tory lawn watering restrictions. Lawns don‘t need to be watered every day. Watering every 3 to 5 days is sufficient, less often if it rains. The best time to water is during the coolest part of the day. Watering in the early morning, or in the evening after the sun has gone down, will reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation. Excess water demand due to lawn watering can strain the capacity of our water supply and storage systems. 3. If all these homes watered on the same day, over 12.2â€"million galâ€" lons of water would be used. 2. In Oakville, there are 34,000 homes. Traditionally, Burns explained, GO Transit adopts station names based on municipality, neighborâ€" hood, street, creek or landmark â€" in that general order. The name "Bronte," said Burns, will reflect everything in the area from Bronte Road to Bronte Crcek Prov1nc1al -------- "Indeed, Oakville West has sometimes been mistaken by our own staff/contractors as the west entrance of the Oakville GO Station," said Burns, adding that â€" with the Town‘s blessing â€" the desâ€" ignation will be changed as soon as possible. In a recent letter to mayor Ann Mulvale, GO Transit director of planning W.M. Burns said the simiâ€" larity between the names has caused some confusion for its customers and even its employees. Currently referred to as "Oakville West," the depot will undergo the name change in order to avoid confusion with the "Oakville" station on Cross Avenue. On _ Tuesday night the Community Services Committee endorsed GO‘s request which will now be passed on to Council this Monday. Weary commuters worried about getting off at the wrong stop take note: the Bronte GO Station is at hand. Bronte moniker for Oakville West GO station In past years, the Region has expeâ€" rienced extremely high peak water demand which drastically lowered reservoir levels. The introduction of water conservation initiatives such as "odd/even day" lawn watering restricâ€" tions will assist greatly in reducing peak demands and, thereby, delay the need for water plant expansions and storage reservoir construction. A water conservation program focuses on the sound management of our water resources. Water conservaâ€" tion will reduce the amount of water being used by everyone, and thereâ€" fore, reduce the amount of water being treated and pumped. This will minimize the strain on the Regional water systems and reduce the cost to residents on their water and sewer bill. The program will be enforced by Halton‘s Public Works staff. Although a maximum fine of $2,000 may be assessed on violators contravening this provision of Regional Water Use Byâ€"law 93â€"89, the cooperation of all citizens in this important water conâ€" servation effort will be the key to its success. * Golf courses using municipal water. * All municipallyâ€"owned properâ€" ties such as schools, parks, arenas, community centres, public works facilities, etc. * All residential, commercial, and industrial properties, The water restriction program does include the following: If the last two examples are encountered, please notify the person listed in this communique. * Newly placed sodding during the maintenance period, * Lawns treated with herbicide, pesticide, or fertilizer which require water. by hand, * Water uses via handâ€"held spray nozzles,
