The Council at its meeting last Monday evening decided to take the most stringent measures to enforce the water restrictions with regard to the use of hoses for gardens. In the interests of the community as a whole, househofders are asked to co-operate to the utmost in order to safeguard against a major emergency action with water in the same way as has taken place with regard to electricity.
