There remains a ton of confusion about the burn ban on a daily basis. I regularly get inquiries from people who wish to follow the rules but have no idea what the rules are, and regularly hear crews on scene of the same situation. Ok, so here& #39;s my free idea @hfxgov:
Why can& #39;t there be a simple website where people can punch in their address and receive the burn rules that are applicable to that address at that time?
Two of the main factors are whether you& #39;re on municipal water/sewer, and whether a burn ban is on that day. I& #39;m no tech wiz, but you& #39;d think it could pull data from Halifax Water& #39;s site + the province and provide the homeowner with a simple readout of the rules for their location
I.e. you go to the website, punch in your address, 123 Main, and the website says "You& #39;re on municipal water, and there is no burn ban today, so here& #39;s what you can and can& #39;t do"
