Water conservation is very important during the summer months when water consumption can double due to the increase in outdoor water use from activities such as lawn watering and car washing. In order to ensure a continuous supply of water for essential and emergency services, residents are asked to conserve water by following Halton's Outdoor Water Use program. The program consists of a three level, numeric, colour-coded system that considers factors, including water demand, water storage levels, groundwater levels and weather patterns: LEVEL 1 (Blue) -- Careful Use · Voluntary odd/even lawn watering between 6 a.m.­9 a.m. and 6 p.m.­9 p.m. · Properties with odd address numbers water on odd numbered calendar days · Properties with even address numbers water on even numbered calendar days · Car washing and watering of trees, shrubs and gardens is allowed. · Although level one is voluntary, resident cooperation to reduce regular outdoor water Gary Carr Halton Regional Chair use is important.
