Water conservation notice for PR region

The recent rain storm may have made some of the streets seem like small riv- ers in towns and villages throughout the Prescott-Russell region. But there is still a slight water shortage for the area. The South Nation Conservation Agency (SNC) has issued a Level 1 LowWater Con- dition notice as of June 11. A Level 1 Notice means there is a potential for a water supply problem in the SouthNation River watershed but there is no cause for alarm at present if careful water conservation measures are observed. The SNC’s monitoring program for the watershed indicates that the past spring season has seen about 60 to 70 per cent of the historical average for rainfall in the region between the period from March to May. If the amount of rainfall during the late spring and early summer months continues at below-average levels then there is poten- tial for more serious water supply problems later in the year. The SNC suggests residents, businesses, and industries throughout the South Na- tion watershed region reduce their water consumption by at least 10 per cent. This is possible by doing away with non-essential water use and limiting needed water con- sumption as much as possible. Effective water conservation measures include: reducing personal shower time and also shutting off shower while soaping until it is time to rinse; make sure to use proper load size settings on washing machines; restrict lawn and garden watering to the early morning or late evening hours when the ground has a chance to absorb the water. Make sure not to leave sprinklers on during the night or during the heat of the day. Avoid car washing if possible or use a bucket for washing rather than just letting the hose run. The SNCwater response teamhas a June 17 review scheduled for an update review of watershedmonitoring reports and to discuss the low-water situation.The group includes representatives for municipalities within the SNC area, the agricultural sector and other special interest groups, and the pro- vincial environment and natural resources ministries. If below-average rainfall conditions con-

tinue during the immediate future, then the SNC will have to consider either Level 2 or Level 3 Condition alerts. Level 2means there is potential for a serious water supply problemwhile Level 3means drought con- ditions are possible because the available water supply cannot meet urgent needs for the watershed fish and wildlife and human inhabitants. The South Nation River watershed stretches from the headwaters of the South Nation River near Brockville and includes

tributary streams like the Castor River as the South Nation flows down to the Ottawa River. The watershed stretches east as far as Maxville and west to the City of Ottawa and all the riverside communities in the Prescott-Russell region. Anyone with information to help the wa- ter monitoring program can call toll-free to 1-877-984-2948 or go online to www.nation. on.ca for details on reporting any unusual stream conditions.

Navan murder mystery remembered A 75-year-old murder mystery that saw a Rockland OPP constable shot and killed while chasing down a suspect is the focus of a local history memorial display event June 20, 9:45 a.m., at the site where the Navan Railway Station once stood. The commemorative event is a joint effort of the Cumberland Township Historical Society and the City of Ottawa, through its commemorative naming project. In June 1940, local newspaper headlines screamed Murder In Navan and told readers the story of how Constable Harold Dent was shot and killed at the Navan Train Station. Following a brief chase later on, a stranger also lay dead in the woods nearby. The full story behind the story will be part of the 75 th memorial ceremony held at the site of the old train station, located just east of the intersection of Smith Road and the Prescott-Russell Trail. City officials and members of the Dent family will also unveil a commemorative plaque on the site and present in the name of Const. Dent a new rest area for trail hikers and cyclists. The Navan Lions Club, the Navan Community

Association, and the Navan Women’s Institute will provide a barbecue brunch afterwards. – Gregg Chamberlain
