Halton Region announces winners of Wise Outdoor Water Use Contest

In June Halton Region invited residents to enter to win one of three Wise Outdoor Water Use prize packages as part of Halton’s Outdoor Water Use Program – Know Your Colour, Know Your Limits – which asks residents to be mindful of their outdoor water use during the summer months.

“The response to this contest demonstrates resident’s commitment to reducing outdoor water use during the warmer months,” said Halton’s Regional Chair, Gary Carr. “Over 500 residents entered the contest and shared the ways they reduce their outdoor water use during the summer months when water consumption often doubles.”
