Summer Water Usage Restrictions

It is important to conserve drinking water. Only water your lawn, garden or plants:

• before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
• when it is not raining
• for a maximum of two hours a day

Also note that houses with even street numbers (e.g., 432 Melanson Road) can only water on even days (July 2, July 4, July 6, etc.), while those with odd street numbers (e.g., 333 Acadie Avenue) can only water on odd days (July 3, July 5, July 7, etc.).

If you do not follow these restrictions, you could get ticketed.

Exemptions

Nurseries, garden centres, outdoor playgrounds and properties with new grass that is less than 30 days old are exempt from the restrictions (see Bylaw 78-5).
