With cooler conditions settinginacross<br />

Council Infrastructure Services Group<br />

Manager, Neil McCann says the seasonal<br />

increase in water consumption has<br />

dropped back to manageable levels and is<br />

satisfied that the restrictions arenolonger<br />

required.<br />

“I’d like tothank all residents for their<br />

cooperation over the warmer months<br />

andfor playing their part to reduceheavy<br />

consumption.<br />

“Water is such a vital resource and<br />

although we are now able to remove<br />

the restrictions, it’s important residents<br />

continue to use their water sensibly and<br />

not be wasteful.”<br />

There are now no summer water<br />

restrictions in place inMid Canterbury,<br />

however the Montalto and Methven-<br />

Springfield schemes remain on a<br />

permanent hosing ban.<br />
