Conservation and Watering Restrictions Reminder
Water is our most important natural resource. Responsible water usage is the key to conserving this valuable resource and ensuring it's available to us in times of need.
During the summer months, water consumption in Tay Township can more than double due to lawn and garden watering.
To help manage water usage and ensure a sufficient supply is on hand for an emergency, such as firefighting Tay Township has a bylaw in place which regulates how and when water can be used for non-essential needs.
Outside Watering Restrictions
Outside water use restrictions are for residents on the Municipal water system. Water restrictions are in place to ensure adequate quantities of water are available for consumer demand and firefighting purposes.
Outside use is RESTRICTED to the days of the month corresponding with your civic address, meaning:
