WATER DEMAND | Our water supply system must be ready to meet daily water demands. while keeping enough water in storage for emergency needs, such as fire fighting. Twice a day our water demands reach a peak level, usually during the early morning and early evening hours. In the warm weather months, outdoor water uses, especially lawn watering, cause our water demands to reach even higher peaks during those same time periods. The water we use for lawn and garden care, filling swimming pools and doing other outdoor tasks, can add many millions of litres a day to our demand for drinking water. The Outdoor Effect To understand just how much additional water our system must pump, let's focus on the effect lawn watering can have on the demand. If only 5,000 residents watered their front and back lawns for 1/2 hour, they could use more than 5 million litres (or more than 1 million gallons) of drinking water. Imagine the strain that level of demand puts on our water system! Doing Your Part We need the help and co-operation of every water user to avoid the demand that outdoor water use can put on our drinking water supply system. When watering your lawns please water according to these guidelines. Lawn Watering Guidelines: Odd-numbered addresses on odd-numbered calendar days Even-numbered addresses on even number calendar days In addition, if the system faces critical shortages, lawn watering use will be restricted during the hours of 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Check your next water bill for our "Efficient By Nature" information piece. It includes | valuable tips and techniques for lawn and garden care with less water waste. | DURHAM REGION Water Efficient Durham known suspects entered the Ajax High School at 105 Bayly Street by smashing two windows on the south side of the school.
