The Halton region has relaxed the mandatory water ban from June 28th a little allowing homeowners to do a wee sprinkling here and there. I wonder if anyone has actually been charged for watering on their off days or off hours.
I do know that when I go on an early morning walk there are many automatic sprinklers running including big honking ones on the soccer fields in the park. I wonder of the city can get fined if they water during the wrong time of day?
I am a bit of a water conscious freak and installed a rain barrel (and for you west nile worriers you need not worry - there is a fine mesh screen on it) from Home Depot this past spring and have used it to keep my tomatoes and 2 corn plants (there were more but someone has chewed them down) watered. It is amazing how little rain you need to fill the barrel. I have a model that you can join together in sequence although I am not sure I am that keen on having a row of rain barrels in the yard.
Our lawn, on the other hand, has turned in to tough brown turf. Kinda dusty and not much fun to play boules on.
