Water Orientation

  1. We use water from the hospital with their permission. Please respect their generosity and remember to turn it off at the hospital when you are done. 
  2. If there are other gardeners in the garden, ask if they have a need for it. If they do not, then turn it off.
  3. Filling cisterns: The cisterns can be filled in about 30 – 45 mins if the water is not being used by anyone else. If you notice cisterns are low and you are expecting to be around for a while, then please initiate the task of filling one up.
  4. Watering from cisterns:
    1. Communal garden – watering can be done either directly from cisterns or via the main water source.
    2. Plot gardeners – watering  / filling through your weeping tile is to be done using the main water source connection and not the cisterns.
  5. Maintenance – from time to time, the couplings will need to have attention paid to them. If you notice drips or leaks tell your team leader or email canmorecommunitygardening@gmail.com
