Water Restrictions. Should schools be exempt? (1 Viewer)

[LiLLy_H]

Hey!

In the Fundraising thread some members said that schools were allowed to use sprinklers to water gardens and that they were exempt from the water restrictions that are in place.
What are your thoughts on this. Should schools be able to use water whenever and wherever they want?
Oh yeah is there a limit to how much schools can use?

I dont think there is, if they apply for exemption

But I think they should limit themselves at least. Nobody cares about flowers during a drought

 

[LiLLy_H]

Exactly what i was thinking. We should all do our best during this drought.

No.

Well our playing fields are watered with big sprinklers (theres three large fields within the school) at dusk every day, and the sprinklers go on the gardens every third day. The Infants Veggie Garden is also sprinklered when it gets hot (they use watering cans other than that but sometimes it needs more water).

I honestly don't think they should be exempted unless they are using it at specific times where it's okay. It's unfair.
Does nayone go to a school which has a swimming pool? Please tell me you guys aren't using it.

no way, they should not be exempt
they use more water than many houses combined

 

[MiuMiu]

Yeah we have an indoor pool? Why wouldn't we be using it?

I also have a pool at home, are you saying I should empty that?

They also have more people than many houses combined...

I'm not saying never to water the garden, but they should only water at specific times. They shouldn't have the freedom to use water at anytime of the day.
There's no need to use water if it is unnessescary.

yeah but as for watering gardens etc. some schools have 4 ovals, that's a lot of water

my school has an A4 notice thing saying that they are allowed to water the school grounds and that water retrictions do not apply for them..
its blu-tacked in the top corner of the office. if i wasnt waiting for 40 mins, i dont think i wouldve noticed it

I wish to note that I saw a sign at a McDonalds explaing that it was exemot from SOME restrictions ...

For our physics assignment, we had to spray our hoses full blast to demonstrate projectile motion.
