SCOFFLAWS who ignore sprinkling regulations
in West Vancouver could soon face fines up to

$500.

Concerned over the grow-
ing number of residents who
water their lawns day and
night in defiance of sprinkl-
ing restrictions, municipal
inspectors are preparing to
crack down hard on of-

Sprinkling regulations are
in force from June 1 to
September 30. Even-
numbered addresses are
restricted to even-numbered
dates and odd-numbered ad-
dresses to odd-numbered
dates.

permitted only between 8 am

said, “but many of them are
just taking no notice.

“From now on our-in-
spectors will be out and
about laying charges against
offenders.” ;

Sprinklers found guilty
face fines up to a maximurh
of $500 for each offence.
