With this summer’s warm and dry weather, residents are reminded to limit their use of water outdoors to protect the water supply, in the region. Residents are asked to follow the Order so water demand can be addressed before it reaches a critical point and further actions are needed. The quality of the water is not impacted by this Order.
Under the Order, lawn watering is only permitted at the following times for residents of Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s:
·EVEN street numbers, between 6 and 8 a.m., and 8 and 10 p.m., Tuesdays and Saturdays
·ODD street numbers, between 6 and 8 a.m., and 8 and 10 p.m., Thursdays and Sundays
·Hand watering of lawns and gardens is permitted at any time
·Residents with a new lawn may water it between 6 and 8 a.m., and 8 and 10 p.m. every day for a period of 60 days following installation
Residents can wash cars or windows provided it is done with a hose with a shut-off nozzle.
This Water Conservation Order is only applicable to those on town water and does not impact residents with private well water supply. The cooperation of residents is appreciated.
