Watering restrictions too lax

Vancouver - Dear Editor: Re: Metro Vancouver Keeps an Eye on Water Use, June 27 news story.I don't think municipal governments are particularly concerned about residential water use. After my neighbour had the sprinkler on her lawn/garden for three hours for the third time, I asked the City of Vancouver about water use. Although the 3-1-1(contact centre) person said lawn watering was restricted, there is no restriction on hosing/cleaning concrete decks, sidewalks and cars. My neighbours do this on a daily basis. Apparently this kind of water use is totally permitted, no matter how frequent or for how long.Annelies ReevesVancouver
