Water Restrictions June 15 – September 15
In Gillies Bay, we are surrounded by water and enjoy a temperate climate marked by winters rich in rainfall. This abundance may cause us to forget that water is a valuable resource requiring responsible management. As we enter the hot, dry season, we urge residents to remain diligent in their water conservation efforts.
This is especially critical during the summer months when water becomes essential for fire suppression.
As the summer progresses and Cranby Lake levels drop, the rising turbidity can compromise our ability to avoid a Boil Water Notice.
Water Restriction Practices:
- Watering is permitted between: 5:00 – 9:00 am and 5:00 – 9:00 pm
- Hand watering is the most effective water conservation practice
- No overnight sprinkling!
- Consider becoming comfortable with a brown lawn. Since we live in a drought-prone area, it should be the norm.
