Temporary Notice- Conserve Water

As previously approved by Council in 2017, Goderich’s water tower is currently undergoing capital upgrades and therefore has been taken out of service.  The Town is requesting residents, commercial, institutional and industry users to conserve water by observing the Town’s Lawn Watering By-Law.  If you live/operate a business at an even numbered address, you can water only on even numbered dates and for those at an odd numbered address, you can only water on odd numbered dates.  Watering times are restricted to 7 AM until 9 AM, and 7PM until 9 PM.  The Town reminds underground automatic sprinkler system users that they can only water between 2:30 AM until 6 AM, and again on days that depend on whether the address has an odd or even number.

The Town appreciates everyone’s cooperation in supporting this water conservation notice.

If you have any questions, please contact Town Hall at 519-524-8344.
