Mandatory water restrictions for Sunderland residents and businesses

Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is advising residents and businesses in Sunderland, in the Township of Brock, of mandatory water restrictions. Residents and businesses are required to discontinue all non-essential indoor and outdoor water use during this time.

When: September 5 to October 15.

Where: The community of Sunderland in the Township of Brock.

Why: Municipal wells one and two will be offline while the Region conducts upgrades. Water use restrictions are necessary to maintain adequate water levels to deal with emergencies, including fire protection during this time.

Note: Examples of non-essential water use includes cleaning driveways or decks, washing cars and lawn watering. When the mandatory water restrictions are lifted, you may resume watering while following “odd-even day lawn watering”; this is a mandatory requirement from May to September each year under the Regional Water Supply By-law #89-2003.

The Region regrets any inconvenience this may cause and thanks customers for their co-operation. For water conservation tips, visit durham.ca/WaterConservation, or contact our Technical Support Division at 311 (within Regional limits) or toll-free at 1-800-372-1102.
