Abnormally heavy water usage over the past few weeks forces your council to consider the imposition of restrictions such as are presently in force in most surrounding municipalities. We ask you to limit lawn watering to two days per week as outlined in the below-mentioned by-law. If this satisfactorily replenishes our water storage facilities, we shall have no need to resort to regulation of water use by by-law. If it does not, then the terms of the byâ€"law will have to be strictly enforced without further notice. Our problem is not one of water supply but of the physical capacity of the treatment plant and transmission equipment to handle abnormal demands during prolonged dry spells. Much water is being used wastefully. Although we can regulate its use to specific hours and days by by-law We greatly prefer to effect economic water usage by securing your willing coâ€"operation. 1. THAT the watering of lawns in the Town of Richmond Hill shall be restricted to the following hours and to the areas of the Town according to the following schedule: (a) All that portion of the Town of Richmond Hill lying north of the centre line of Crosby Avenue and east of the centre line of Yonge Street between the hours of 8.00 pm. on Monday to 8.00 a.m. on Tuesday and between the hours of 8.00 pm. on Thursday to 8.00 am. on Friday of each week. (1)) All that portion of the Town of Richmond Hill lying south of the centre line of Crosby Avenue and east of the centre line of Yonge Street between the hours of 8.00 pm. on Tuesday to 8.00 am. on Wednesday and 8.00 pm. on Friday to 8.00 am. on Saturday of each week. (c) All that portion of the Town of Richmond Hill lying west of the centre line of Yonge Street between the hours of 8.00 pm. on Wednesday to 8.00 am. on Thursday and 8.00 pm. on Saturday to 8.00 am. on Sunday of each week. 2. THAT By-law No. 819 is hereby repealed. 3.
