Please follow this link for current information: http://www.region.peel.on.ca/watersmartpeel/outdoor/waterwise-faq.htm Halton Region (Oakville, Milton) (current as of April 2009) Halton Region has relaxed its full outdoor water use ban and is instituting a mandatory odd/even outdoor water use restriction effective July 10th. The mandatory odd/even water use restriction requires adherence for all outdoor watering. Even-numbered houses may water only on even calendar days and odd-numbered houses may water only on odd calendar days. Outdoor watering includes watering of lawns, flowers/vegetable gardens, trees and shrubs. Outdoor watering is only permitted during the hours of 6 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Your lawn only requires one inch of water per week. By using a Rain Gauge you can accurately monitor the amount of water your lawn receives naturally each week. The Region requests that residents continue to minimize other outdoor water uses. Residents are to refrain from washing their driveway or the sidewalk. Further details of specific water use restrictions and exemptions can be found on the Region’s website at www.halton.ca. Durham Region (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby) information can be found by clicking on the link above and then clicking the link provided for odd/even day watering schedules. No known restrictions- please adhere to our conservation tips throughout the LawnSavers site to conserve water and irrigate properly.
