They also provide more flexibility for <br />irrigating by hand and with more efficient types of irrigation systems. <br />• In order for OWASA to enforce certain elements pertaining to excessive or wasteful <br />water use during periods of declazed shortage, our Board will consider adopting these <br />as OWASA rules in the near future. <br /> <br />400 Jones Ferry Road <br />PO Box 366 <br />Carrboro, NC 27510-0366 <br />-SL~~V ~ QT' ?~~ia/o3 <br />Equal Opportunity Employer <br />Printed on Recycled Paper <br />Voice (919) 968-4421 <br />FAX (919) 968-4464 <br />W N~W.OWAS4.
