This summer's’ consumption rate is “pretty high for a community this size,” he said. Qn_a per capita basis, the figures break down to over 600 gallons (2,700 litres) of water consumed every day by every man, woman and child in the area. pane volume of water used this Cabinet ministers to visit Two federal cabinet mini: will summer easily outdistances last year’s amounts. _-Reshaur’s figures show that in July last year, consumption reached four million gallons on eight days.

The lowest reading for the month so~~ far was 4,250,000" gallons (9 320 000 litres) on July 7. Reshaur said sprinklers are ther main cause of the high water consumption. “We ‘don't have sprinkling regula- tions, that’s why we're using so much water.

However, he said the boundaries of provincial parks are well-defined on maps and the public should not have a problem. Recreational waterways also remain open, Thiessen said. He used Syringa Creek Provincial Park as an example, saying that as long as boats are launched form the park and stay on the lake, there would not be a problem. Thiessen added that residents who have property in closed areas would be allowed access to that property. A toll-free phone number has been made. available for information.
