The water demand at the water treatment plant has decreased to the Yellow – Conserve level, which indicates that water usage is higher than normal, but not at critical levels. Please continue to use our water wisely and conserve it where possible.
Tips for Conserving Water
1. Water when the sun is low to minimize evaporation.
2. Choose drought-resistant trees and plants for your yard and garden.
3. Mulch gardens and trees to help retain moisture and prevent weeds.
4. Be mindful of not watering paved or unwanted areas
5. Set your lawnmower higher to avoid the grass drying out.
6. Consider harvesting water with rain barrels to use in planters and in the garden. Questions? Check out the Water Demand FAQ on the Town’s website, or email Guy Bourgon, Director of Public Works at gbourgon@carletonplace.ca
