Public Notice<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Fire restrictions in place<br />
A restricted fire season is in place across the rural plains areas of <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
In residential areas under Environment Canterbury rules outdoor cooking is allowed<br />
so long as smoke from your barbecue, pizza oven or other method has no offensive<br />
or objectionable effect beyond your boundary. In the high country and hill areas of<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, a restricted fire season is permanently in place.<br />
In other rural areas in <strong>Selwyn</strong> in a restricted fire season the following rules apply:<br />
· Gas barbeques are allowed if a water source is nearby<br />
· Fires in drums must be covered with a wire mesh top sized no greater than 20mm<br />
or have a lid and flue with a spark arrester fitted. Only material that has had a<br />
minimum of at least a six week drying period may be burnt under Environment<br />
Canterbury’s Air rules. The only type of materials that may be burnt under these<br />
rules are dried vegetation, paper, cardboard and untreated wood<br />
· Crop residue burns are allowed but only during daylight hours and must be<br />
attended at all times. Fires may not be lit when strong winds are blowing or<br />
forecast, fire fighting equipment and an adequate water source must be nearby<br />
and a <strong>10</strong> metre firebreak must be cleared around the edge of the area to be burnt<br />
· Fire may be lit if a permit has been issued by <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council and these<br />
conditions are followed.<br />
Please visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/fire for fire safety guidelines.<br />
What’s not allowed:<br />
· Any type of fire not listed as permitted above<br />
· Fires cannot be lit on Council reserves<br />
Don’t let stored hay start a fire<br />
Excess moisture trapped inside hay bales can cause hay to heat, which can start a<br />
fire. Heating often occurs when vegetation is baled when it is too green, especially<br />
when bales are tightly stacked together, preventing air from circulating.<br />
Hay should be regularly checked for heating for up to four months after stacking.<br />
Signs of heating include: hot bales, steam rising from the stack or moisture build<br />
up on rafters or roof or roof corrosion, unusual odours from the hay and sometimes<br />
slumping of bales.<br />
One way to test to see if heating has occurred if to push a crow bar well inside the<br />
hay stack and leave it for two hours, then extract it. If you can safely handle the crow<br />
bar then recheck the temperature daily. If you can only handle the crow bar for a short<br />
time then you should remove machinery from the shed and recheck the temperature<br />
twice a day. If the bar is too hot to touch for more than a few seconds then move<br />
hay to improve the air flow and recheck the temperature every 2-4 hours. If the crow<br />
bar is too hot to handle it could start a fire. You should contact your local fire brigade<br />
immediately and avoid walking on the haystack as this could cause the stack to<br />
collapse and ignite.<br />

Public Notice<br />
Help us keep water flowing this summer<br />
We encourage properties connected to Council water<br />
supplies to continue to conserve water and adjust when<br />
you use water. If demand for water increases over summer,<br />
formal water restrictions may be introduced. Council is closely<br />
monitoring water use.<br />
We appreciate your assistance in helping us avoid needing to introduce formal water<br />
restrictions. For more information see www.selwyn.govt.nz. For tips on SMART<br />
watering, see www.smartirrigation.co.nz/smart-watering<br />
When to water your lawn...<br />
Don’t irrigate between<br />
6-9am or 4-9pm daily<br />
Check weather conditions<br />
before watering<br />
We recommend you check<br />
weather conditions before<br />
watering. Watering on hot<br />
days or when a Nor’ West<br />
is blowing results in a lot<br />
of water evaporating and<br />
watering in these conditions is<br />
not recommended. Watering<br />
on a cooler overcast day is a<br />
better option as it provides the<br />
best opportunity for water to<br />
soak into your lawn or garden.<br />
Irrigate wisely<br />
