Mandatory water restrictions for residents and businesses are now in effect in Sunderland
The Regional Municipality of Durham is advising residents and businesses in Sunderland of mandatory water restrictions. Residents and businesses are required to discontinue all non-essential indoor and outdoor water use during this time.
When: Tuesday, September 5th until Sunday, October 15th.
Where: Sunderland in the Township of Brock.
Why: Municipal Wells 1 and 2 will be offline while the Region conducts upgrades. Water restrictions are important to maintain adequate water supply for emergencies, including fire protection during this time.
Note: Examples of non-essential water use includes cleaning driveways or decks, washing cars and lawn watering. When the mandatory water restrictions are lifted, you may resume watering while following “odd-even day lawn watering”; this is a mandatory requirement from May to September each year under the Regional Water Supply By-law #89-2003.
The Region regrets any inconvenience this may cause and thanks customers for their co-operation. For water conservation tips, visit durham.ca/WaterConservation, or contact our Technical Support Division at 311 (within Regional limits) or toll-free at 1-800-372-1102.
