Do you know that the Town’s By-Law number 217 is about water consumption (https://sutton.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Reglement-no-217_Utilisation_eau_potable.pdf)? Do you know that this By-Law has regulations about watering?

Here are the main points to know about this By-Law:

• It is forbidden to water a new lawn between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
• The Town can forbid all watering in a sector, even for new lawns. Furthermore, there is presently a ban of watering in the Mountain Sector (https://sutton.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Web-public-notice-ban-watering-mountain-1.pdf). August 4, 2020 – The ban on outside watering for Mountain Sector desserved by the Town water aqueduct is now lift. Keep vigilant, please REDUCE your water consumption!
