Why does the Village impose watering restrictions? During the spring and summer months municipal water is consumed at a much higher rate mainly due to outdoor water use. The Village must maintain adequate water reserves at all times to meet both municipal and firefighting obligations. Regulating residential water use on an alternating rotation results in much more manageable water consumption. On occasion excessive water consumption may lead to the Village imposing a full outdoor watering ban. Bylaw 07-2015, Section 39 permits outdoor watering privileges such as use of garden hose for sprinklers; washing vehicles, building exteriors, windows or parking pads; filling swimming pools as per the scheduled days and hours posted above. Contravention of these bylaw regulations may result in a $500 fine. We greatly appreciate our citizens’ compliance with these regulations so watering bans will not need to be imposed!
PLEASE BE REMINDED WHEN CONSIDERING OUTSIDE WATERING THAT WATER CONSUMPTION IS NOW BILLED OUT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF WATER CONSUMED. WATER BILLS WILL REFLECT THE COST RELATED TO WATERING LAWNS & GARDENS, AS WELL AS WASHING WINDOWS, VEHICLES, ETC. AT
$3.45 PER M3
