Sunshine Water Supply Pressure Debate Highlights Local Council Action
The Metropolitan Board warned of heavy summer water demand causing poor pressure though no supply cuts were planned. A council letter explained the issue: peak use by gardens at the same hours strains the system. Residents were urged to water during daytime to ease pressure, while wardens monitor and adjust routines in hot spells. Council discussed a repayable agreement with the board to lay 1 inch mains along several streets.
