Grand River Conservation Authorities are asking water users to to cut back on their cut consumption by 10 per cent as water levels remain low despite a vast increase of rainfall recently.
The Grand River Low Water Response Team, which is comprised of major water users such as farmers, golf course operators and others have decided to keep the watershed at Level 1 under the Ontario Low Water Response Program until pressure can hopefully ease in the fall.
The GRCA says the best thing residents can do is to follow municipal outdoor water use bylaws and limit watering to specific days and times.
