In an effort to conserve water and to ensure the supply of municipal water, By-law 116-06 only permits outdoor water use, using a hose (or any other attachment), every other day between the hours of 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, year round.
Outdoor water use days are determined by the last number of a property’s municipal address (residential and commercial).
Municipal Address Ending In: |
Watering Day |

0, 2, 4, 6, 8 |
Even numbered calendar days |

Outside of the times and days described above, outdoor water use is permitted for:
- Newly planted grass (seed and sod), trees, shrubs and gardens while being installed and during the 24 hours period after the installation.
- Lawns being treated with any pesticide, herbicide or fertilizer that requires water during and 24 hours after the application.
- Watering cans may be used any day, at any time to water trees, shrubs, vegetable and flower gardens. A flowing hose cannot be inserted into the watering can while watering.
More stringent conservation measures may be required in times of drought or a water supply emergency. (If this occurs details will be communicated through the County’s website brant.ca, local newspapers, letters and radio.)
