Water usage is higher than normal due to the recent weather which has the Carleton Place water treatment plant at the yellow conserve level.
That means water usage is higher than normal, but not at critical levels.
You’re asked to continue to use water wisely and conserve it where possible.
Tips for Conserving Water
- Water when the sun is low to minimize evaporation.
- Choose drought-resistant trees and plants for your yard and garden.
- Mulch gardens and trees to help retain moisture and prevent weeds.
- Be mindful of not watering paved or unwanted areas.
- Set your lawnmower higher to avoid the grass drying out.
- Consider harvesting water with rain barrels to use in planters and in the garden.news7 Moved File from Markets\ON East\Holding to Markets\ON East\Daily Stories @ 08/01/24 04:23 PM
