Drinking water quality and supply is not anticipated to be impacted during this time. Residents are reminded to follow the mandatory odd-even day lawn watering in effect from May through September under the Regional Water Supply By-law #89-2003. If you wish to water your lawn, you may do so only on odd calendar days if your house number is an odd number, or even calendar days if you house is an even number.
