“The public has been

"very, very good’ with’ this,”

said Trawin.

Crews have been: put- ° ting in overtime, diverting waler to keep reservoirs full. Despite restrictions, the heaviest use of water is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m when people are typically running dishwashers or do- ing other household chores.

Marvin Kwiatkowski, director of engineering

services for the city, said last winter, during the low- est water demand period of the year, 10 million litres of water were consumed © per day in Terrace.

“In the last couple of

weeks, we've been using’:

-15 to 17 million litres per “day,” he said last week.

{ “If we didn’t have the restrictions, we'd be over

20 [million litres].”

Kwiatkowski said the special restrictions will _ likely be lifted within a few weeks but regular re- strictions will be in place.

Normally, those living in odd numbered houses can water outdoors at any time on. an odd number day and vice versa for those living in even numbered houses.

THE CITY has s tightened watering rules by restrict- ing sprinkling to early morning hours. Residents who disobey receive one warning and then a fine
