RELIEF:<br />

Residents in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> may<br />

not have<br />

restrictions on<br />

the amount of<br />

water they use<br />

over summer.<br />

High rainfall may mean<br />

no water restrictions<br />

HIGH rainfall throughout<br />

the year may mean<br />

properties in <strong>Selwyn</strong> will<br />

not have to go on water<br />

restrictions over summer.<br />

The district council<br />

wants to ensure properties<br />

connected to its water supplies<br />

can have good water<br />

service.<br />

Asset manager Murray<br />

Washington said high<br />

rainfall during winter<br />

meant the district council<br />

is in a good position to<br />

meet the increased water<br />

demand during summer.<br />

“There is no immediate<br />

need for mandatory water<br />

restrictions,” he said.<br />

But Mr Washington<br />

said it is asking residents<br />

to consider changing their<br />

lawn irrigation timing to<br />

help keep the water networks<br />

stable.<br />

“Water supplies are<br />

placed under pressure<br />

during summer as many<br />

people decide to water<br />

their lawns and gardens at<br />

the same time,” he said.<br />

Residents on district<br />

council water supplies<br />

are encouraged to water<br />

lawns between 9pm-6am<br />

or 9am-4pm, as these are<br />

times when households use<br />

the least water. Residents<br />

should avoid irrigating<br />

between 6-9am or 4-9pm<br />

and check the weather conditions<br />

before watering.<br />

A district council media<br />

release said watering lawns<br />

during the middle of the<br />

day, during hot days or<br />

when a nor’west wind is<br />

blowing, result in a lot of<br />

water evaporating.<br />

Watering on a cooler<br />

overcast day is a better<br />

option as it has the opportunity<br />

to soak into lawns<br />

and gardens.<br />

If demand for water<br />

increases over summer,<br />

water restrictions may<br />

be introduced requiring<br />

households to avoid watering<br />

lawns at specific times.<br />

Summer water<br />

restrictions are commonly<br />

used in New Zealand as a<br />

way to manage demand for<br />

water.<br />
