special sprinkling regulations adopted at the August 8th, 1977 Council
meeting in an effort to combat water pressure problems South of the
Lougheed Highway, advising that although well over 200 residents in
violation thereof were warned, only one charge had been laid, and stating

be back in service during the week of August 22nd; also, a number of
connections have been made to the Pitt River Road main which snould help
the supply to Mary Hill and improve the pressure,

Alderman Mabbett then spoke to the problem of enforcing the sprinkling
regulations and stated he had been advised by the City Engineer that his
previous employer, the City of Kelowna, used a very successful system of
first warning residents in violation of sprinkling regulations, with the
next such occurrence resulting in their water being shut off, and then
charging a fee for turning it back on again. The City Enginner stated he
felt that as the water pressure problem has been improved following re-con-

nection of the 10" high-pressure main feeding the Mary Hill area, it would
