9 Seasonal Information Don t Leaf it on the street... Leaves blown from your property onto streets could pose safety concerns and cover catch basins, potentially resulting in localized flooding due to clogged catch basins. Help us by not blowing leaves from your property onto the street, and remove any leaves or debris away from catch basins so the water can easily drain. For more information about leaf collection, Visit burnaby.ca/garbageandrecycling staple Be Snow Smart Although our winters may be milder on the west coast of Canada, you need to be ready to handle cold snaps, frosty roads and snowfall. During winter conditions, everyone has a role to play to ensure streets and sidewalks are safe. et in the know about snow, visit burnaby.ca/besnowsmart Watermain Flushing The City s Engineering Department has an annual program of flushing and cleaning watermains. This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in the water supply reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of short duration and do not pose a health hazard. If your water appears discoloured after our crews have finished flushing, clear your water by running a cold water tap. If you have questions or specific concerns, please contact the Engineering Department at (604) Water Restrictions Water is a valuable resource, and we can all take steps to conserve water, particularly during the warm summer months when water use almost doubles. Please see burnaby.ca/waterrestrictions for more information, and for watering restrictions. Let it row, Naturally! In April 2009, the City of Burnaby passed the Pesticide Use Control Bylaw that restricts the use of cosmetic pesticides. Many conventional pesticides can no longer be used for lawn and garden beautification and maintenance on residential and City lands, even if they are legally allowed for sale. Having a pesticide free yard does not mean the end of your yard! Your lawn and garden can be healthy and pest free without using chemical pesticides. Please see burnaby.ca/letitrownaturally for more information and a list of permitted pesticides that are safer alternatives. Seasonal Information
