USE OF WATER TROUGHS

The growing season is now well underway.  In the warmer weather, water use across the site is at peak demand.  Additional water troughs were installed last year which means that during hot weather, more water is being drawn from our system than ever before, although we have the same incoming supply.  So we now have more troughs, but they are taking longer to fill when all are being drawn from.All members are expected to refill the water trough they are using after use.  This is a non-negotiable rule and requirement of membership.  Members need to allow enough time to complete this task when they are watering their plots so it is left ready to draw from by the next plot holder.  If a neighbour is also drawing from a trough simultaneously plot holders need to negotiate the refilling of the trough between them.Chris Clifford Chair, EWAA
