WATER USERS

BEGINNING APRIL 1ST, 2008 THROUGH TO APRIL 30, 2008 THE VILLAGE OF BURK’S FALLS WILL BE ARRANGING INSTALLATION OF REMOTE WATER METERS TO ALL ARMOUR TOWNSHIP WATER CUSTOMERS.

In order to comply with the Ministry of the Environment directives, the Village will be contacting each homeowner in Armour Township who is connected to the water system to arrange for installation of a new remote water meter

EACH HOMEOWNER WILL BE REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT THE VILLAGE STAFF HAVE CLEAR ACCESS TO THE WATER LINE AS IT COMES INTO YOUR HOME TO ENABLE CONNECTION OF THE NEW REMOTE WATER METER. Village Staff are not responsible for clearing access to the water line in your home.
Please ensure you arrange for installation of this meter by April 30, 2008.
The Village office has available copies of the CMHC publication Household Guide to Water Efficiency. This publication outlines water use and conservation tips for the household.

As an incentive to save water, the Village of Burk’s Falls will pay residents $40.00 per unit for each low flush toilet or horizontal axis clothes washer, up to $ 10.00 for each low flow showerhead (max 9.5 litres/min), low flow kitchen aerator and low flow bathroom aerator. Residents are required to submit a copy of their bill of purchase for our review, and once the Village staff have verified the installation of this equipment the refund will be arranged.

For those customers who are serviced with Natural Gas hot water heaters the Village has available a Free Energy Saving Kit provided by Union Gas. This kit includes: 1 low flow massage showerhead, 1 low flow kitchen swivel aerator, 1 low flow bathroom aerator, 1 roll of Teflon tape and 2 meters of foam pipe insulation. Customers are required to sign a Natural Gas Verification Tracking Sheet, including their address and telephone number for confirmation by Union Gas.
