and I see that the little water that was allowed for lawns once per week has been reduced to allow for this. Lawns can only be watered once a week for two hours now. We are told that to keep them green you need to water in deep. If your lawn is 500 sq ft that two hours would be fine, but if you have more than one zone..... Steal from the poor and give to the rich.....
See how much our input is valued... first, NORD sets up a new drought management committee, then cancels its first meeting, and then, Presto Chango, here is the new bylaw, with a bunch of seemingly random restrictions that utilize "recycled water" for pools and ponds.
I would love to know how to get my hands on that recycled water... what is that anyways? Where does it come from? Am I supposed to sump pump it from my bathtub?
The way I read the new bylaw, NORD would even try to prevent me from doing whatever I want with that first 20 cubic metres I already pay for.
Why should it be OK for NORD to tell me what I can do with the water that they have forced me to purchase?
After the water has travelled through the meter and into my home, NORD's responsibility surely ends.
According to Section 4 of the new bylaw, we now understand that RDNO is not liable for
(a) the use of water from the water system,
(b) the failure to supply any or an insufficient amount of water,
(c) any impurity, or
(d) lack of adequate or any water pressure.
What responsibilities does RDNO have to its customers?
Why is it that we are now facing more rules and regulations, instead of being provided with tools and information?
Why is public consultation completely out of the picture?
It's getting very difficult to find anyone who believes the current crop of politicians and bureaucrats are capable of effectively managing our regional water utility.
