North Van City supports
water conservation move

NORTH VANCOUVER
City Council
support Monday for a
Greater Vancouver Regional
District (GVRD) campaign
to cut water use to conserve
water as the levels of loca!
reservoirs continue to drop.

By Layne Christensen
Contributing Writer

GVRD officials advised council
that current dry conditions,
coupled with smaller winter
snowpacks and a dry spring, have
reduced Capilano and Seymour
reservoirs to fevels normaily expe-
rienced in late July.

The GVRD has therefore laun-
ched a public awareness campaign
to encourage residents to reduce
their use of water.

Lawn and garden sprinkling ac-
counts for up to 80% of addi-
tionaj wafer use during summer
months.

The GVRD has the following
Ups about lawn and garden watering:

pledged its:

NORTH VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL

@ Water your lawn and garden
only when they need it. Don't be
ruled by a strict schedule.

If there are restrictions in your
municipality, water on your day

. but not just because it is your
day.

@ Water during the cool hours of
the day, in the eariy morning or in
the evening.

Early morning is generally bet-
ter because it allows the grass to
dry which discourages lawn ail-
ments.

@ Don’t sprinkle during the mid-
day heat. Most of the water just
evaporates; midday watering can
do your grass more harm than

good.
@ Don’t Nood your lawn.

@ Don’t water your driveway or
sidewalk.

“M's really important that this
campaign be launched to urge the
public to reduce the non-essential
use of water,’’ said Ald. Barbara
Perrault.

New watermain to help |
cut W. Van shortages

Municipality monitoring supplies

WEST VANCOUVER
District is installing a
cross-municipal watermain
to help reduce the severity
of the municipality’s grow-
ing water shortage.

By Maureen Curtis
Contributing Writer

The main, which should be
completed by September, will
transfer water from the Greater
Vancouver Regional District
(GVRD) system, which already
serves part of West Vancouver, to
areas further west, which are cur-

. rently served by the municipality’s

Eagle Lake water supply.

Barry Lambert, West Van-
couver’s director ‘of operations,
told council recently that Eagle
Lake is already lower than its
normal mid-July level.

Small mountain snowpacks and

, a dry spring have also left the

Capilano and
levels

North Shore’s
Seymour: reservoir water
well below normal.

Montizambert Creek, which
serves subdivisions off the
Squamish Sea to Sky Highway, is
also low.

The new watermain will run
from the existing pump station
below the West Vancouver
municipal works yard on Cypress
Bow! Road and continue north of
Cypress Falls Park to the existing
Eagle Lake main above the top of
Woodgreen Drive.

The main will be placed on
private property owned by British
Pacific Properties Ltd.

The watermain’s route, which
wil} run through a natural forested
area, was chosen with input from
the district’ planning and parks
departments.

Council also voted to ask West
Vancouverites to conserve water
and minimize lawn and garden
sprinkling.

“*A brown lawn is not neccssari-
ly a dead lawn,’’ said Mayor
Mark Sager.

Ald. Andy Danyliu was
distressed that some residents are
