The Grand River Conservation Authority is asking water uses in the watershed to cut back their consumption by 10 per cent due to the unusually dry weather seen in the spring and so far this summer.
Officials say the reduction call came following a meeting from the Grand River Low Water Response Team.
The watershed has been placed at Level 1 under the Ontario Low Water Response Program which results in the request to cut back water consumption by 10 per cent.
In a release, the GRCA says low rainfall since April has contributed to reduced stream flows in a number of areas across the watershed.
