The city is again asking custom­
ers to voluntarily employ the Odd?
Even lawn watering program. Here is
how it works: if the home address
ends in odd number, water only on
odd-numbered days; if the address
ends in an even number, water only
on even-numbered days.
Other water-saving tips: water
only in the early morning or evening
hours to minimize evaporation; water
grass one inch per week, except in hot
weather, when 1 1/2 to 2 inches per
week is needed to keep grass from
turning brown. Shrubs and many
plants need less than grass, so adjust
watering time appropriately.

save water outdoors, call the City of
Vancouver Water Conservation Of­
fice at 696-8186.

agencies, assoc iations and private com­
panies - staffing information booths,
and consultation areas.
V isitors to the pavilion will re­

all aspects of business m anagem ent

with advisors and lending officials
to receive personal advice and ideas.

Vancouver water utility custom­
ers are reminded in the hot weather
to, “Use what you need, but need what
you use.”
“ In extremely hot weather, as
we’ve experienced this week, high
demand can stress the distribution
system’s ability to keep pace. This
can result in reduced water pressure
for customers,” says Linda Mullen,
water conservation analyst for the
city.
Customers are urged to practice
wise water habits all year long, and
especially during periods o f hot
weather.
