Lawn Watering Bylaw

I saw in last weeks Welland Tribune an article on the Welland Conservation Committee's dedication, for another year, to low flow toilets, rain barrels, and downspout inspection along with the expected expenditure however I noticed again the absence of a Lawn Watering Bylaw.
Is the Welland City council and the Conservation Committee so naive to believe Welland is the only community that is unaffected by water supply and shortage? This same council used up over $4 million on water meters not only to help the consumer save money on expensive water bills but help the city trim down water consumption. This council spent a great deal of money on water saver toilets and rain barrels with the same purpose to save money and water, a program set up again for 2007, a program that I've endorsed for a number of years before it became a reality.This same council and Conservation Committee has shown an unwillingness to put into practice a lawn watering bylaw with no explanation as to why, a bylaw that will save innumerable cubic meters of water, a bylaw that will cost nothing but time to bring in a motion and the salaries for the students to monitor as they are doing downspout disconnect inspections.
This same council set up the Conservation Committee with a budget of $50,000.00, a budget that included water conservation as laid out by the Province of Ontario to have conservation measures in place with lawn watering restrictions as part of the conservation process, a process to control double water consumption in the summer months.
For the past week this writer made contact with municipalities throughout the province of Ontario along with the province of British Columbia asking if their municipalities had a lawn watering bylaw along with a monitoring system.Most of the municipalities in British Columbia have very strict lawn watering bylaws complete with a monitoring system and a watering limit of once per week.This is a province with numerous lakes and rivers for a water source.
The reply from the Ontario municipalities, chiefly those around lakes Huron, Erie, and Ontario was incredible bearing in mind their close proximity to the lakes mentioned. Every municipality contacted had a lawn watering bylaw supported in most cases with a monitoring program, monitored by students, fines put on water bills, written warnings, and reports of misuse by neighbors. The municipalities who provided the information were The municipality of Lambton Shores(Grand Bend, Forest, etc),Sarnia, Goderich,Clearview Township, The Region of Waterloo( 7 communities),Ottawa, Kingston,, The Region of Durham, Barrie, Peterborough,and The County of Brant.
Most of these communities have abundant water sources but all are mindful of the summer consumption problems to-gather with the regular warning of future water shortage.
Are the Welland councillors afraid if they put into practice this bylaw it will disturb their individual constituents to the point they will not be re-elected or is it they don't believe the water warnings?
