During the past Water Meter reading, the Village staff distributed a
CMHC publication Household Guide to Water Efficiency. This
publication outlines water use and conservation tips for the household.
We encourage you to take time to review this publication- it will not
only save water it will also save you, the customer, on your bi-monthly
billing.
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.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact the
Municipal office. |
