I Let's use our precious water wisely Gary Carr Halton Region Chair 7 | Thursday, August 18, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com n Halton, we work hard to protect our valuable water resources to ensure all residents have access to safe, high-quality tap water. The Region has a variety of programs and services in place to help protect and conserve our water and to ensure that it is safe when it reaches your home, school or business. This summer has been extremely hot with very little rainfall. In order to ensure there is always sufficient water supply for essential use and for emergency services, residents are asked to make water conservation a part of their daily lives. Using water wisely is especially important during extended periods of hot and dry weather. We ask residents to use water efficiently by: · not over-watering your lawn or garden; · practising lawn watering in accordance with the odd/even rule (i.e., odd numbered addresses water on odd numbered days and even numbered addresses water on even numbered days) · sweeping your driveway instead of using the hose; · using a pool cover to reduce water evaporation; · ensuring any irrigation systems are operating efficiently; · adjusting sprinklers, so only your lawn is watered -- not the house, sidewalk, or street; and · ensuring only to water plants when necessary. Even though residents make every effort to Free Installation Sale on Safety Covers! conserve during the warm summer months, the demand for water can increase by 50 per cent. Halton's Outdoor Water Use program consists of a numeric colour-coded system, which indicates the extent of any restrictions on outdoor water use. The Outdoor Water use program considers different factors such as water demand, water storage levels, stream flow and groundwater levels and weather patterns. Currently, we are in a Level 1 -- Blue water conservation category, which encourages residents to participate in the voluntary odd/even water program. To learn more about Halton's water, tips on how to conserve, or to check the current water restriction level, please visit halton.ca/water or dial 311. Halton Region is committed to working together with our residents and community partners to protect our natural resources and ensure we can meet our needs today and in the future. This summer, rethink your water use by using it wisely and efficiently. 12' x 24' Inground Kidney Shaped Pool $27,999 installed* Vinyl or Fiberglass available Replacement pool lineRs* 12' 14' 16' 18' 20' X X X X X 24' 28' 32' 36' 40' Rect Rect Rect Rect Rect 999 1199 $ 1399 $ 1599 $ 1999 $ $ designed for worry free protection 12` x 24` Rect SaFety coVeR $ 799 InStalled* 14' x 28' Rect $999 16' x 32' Rect $1199 18' x 36' Rect $1399 20' x 40' Rect $1599 InStalled* Safety coveR* HOT TUbS 2016 fLOOR mODELS cLEARANcE fROm $4995 *Limited time offer, No dealers please, Quantities Limited *Restrictions apply check in-store for details, not applicable on prior sales.
