Water use exemptions for growers
Market gardeners east of the Ferrymead Bridge can now apply for exemption from the Christchurch City Council’s seasonal water use restrictions. Exemptions would allow them to irrigate every day, not just every other day. But councillors last evening said that they would be expected to shut down irrigation systems when water was needed for fire-fighting. Under the exemption system. commercial growers must apply in writing and state their water consumption requirements. They must also produce evidence that market gardening is their chief livelihood.
