Uxbridge residents asked to practise additional water conservation during well work

Whitby, Ontario – The Regional Municipality of Durham is asking residents in the Township of Uxbridge to practise additional water conservation efforts as the Works Department performs work on a water supply well. Residents should limit non-essential water use during this time.

When: Wednesday, July 29 to Sunday, August 2. Once work is complete, residents may return to normal water conservation efforts.

Where: Township of Uxbridge.

Why: To safely install a new pump for an existing water supply well.

Note: Examples of non-essential water use includes cleaning driveways or decks, washing cars and lawn watering.

In an effort to conserve water, residents using our municipal water supply are reminded to practise odd-even lawn watering until September. Under the Regional Water System By-law 89-2003, odd-even lawn watering is mandatory during the summer months.
