Water, Bonfires and Other Restrictions. Water The water supply shall be included in the rental charge. The use of sprinklers and hose pipes to water a plot directly is prohibited. Tenants are permitted to use a hosepipe to fill a tank, water butt or similar etc. on their plot but due consideration must be given to fair use of the tap when there are other Tenants wishing to use the water supply. The water supply may be turned off at any time, without notice, at the discretion of the Council. Bonfires Bonfires are a last resort for disposing of waste generated on a plot. Bonfires are permitted for the burning of dry or diseased plants, perennial weeds, stalks and prunings. Ensure the fire is completely extinguished before leaving the plot: bonfires must never be left unattended. Bonfires are not permitted at any time for manufactured materials such as plastics and rubber. These give off toxic fumes when burned and should be disposed of only at the local civic amenity site. Tenants should always take into consideration local householders before lighting a bonfire. Smoke from a bonfire could result in action under the Environment Protection Act of 1990 and Tenants who light a fire within 50ft (15.24m) of the centre of a highway may be guilty of an offence under the Xxxxxxxx Xxx 0000. The Council reserves the right to prohibit bonfires on a specific plot or group of plots. Rubbish and Recycling Rubbish from external sources may not be brought on to the site. Infringement may result in termination of a tenancy and/or prosecution. Non-diseased vegetative matter should be composted or shredded and used on the Tenant’s allotment. Diseased plants and perennial weeds can be burned at appropriate times. All non-compostable waste shall be removed from the allotment site by the Tenant.
