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 />
