Conservation urged as wells go dry
LANCER 2012
newsroom@eap.on.ca FINCH | Area residents are being urged to conserve water as prolonged dry weather continues to take its toll on the region’s water supplies and crops. Some property owners have reported dry wells, relates South Nation Conserva- tion. Furthermore, due to low water lev- els, exposed rocks in watercourses pose an additional hazard during recreational activities. The SNC Water Response Team asks residents, businesses and industries throughout the watershed to reduce their water consumption by 20 per cent. Water consumption can be reduced by limiting non-essential uses (e.g. lawn watering, car washing, etc.). This week, the agency upgraded the low water condition issued May 17 to a Level 2 LowWater Condition. “A Level 2 Low Water Condition means a minor water supply problem has been detected,” states Lisa Migneault, SNC Re- sources Technician. The recent warm and dry conditions have decreased the stream flows throughout the watershed to ap- proximately 30 per cent of normal for this time of year. Residents should contact their munici- palities regarding any water or fire by-laws that may apply. SNC will continue to monitor watershed conditions and will provide updates as re- quired. To assist in regional data collection of the situation, property owners, busi- nesses, and industries are encouraged to contact SNC if they are experiencing any unusual water-related problems. Should the conditions worsen, the Ontario gov- ernment will be responsible for upgrading the low water condition. SNC’s Water Response Team, created under the Ontario Low Water Response program, consists of representatives from provincial and municipal governments, agriculture and other special interest groups. The South Nation River begins at its headwater streams near Brockville and gathers water from as far away as Maxville to the east, and the City of Ottawa to the west, before it empties into the Ottawa River near Plantagenet. Contact SNC at 1-877-984-2948 or visit www.nation.on.ca for more information.
