REMINDER: Water Conservation Notice continues for residents

Residents are reminded to continue with water conservation measures.   Our Town water supply continues to decline and town staff are continuing to explore and implement options to provide water to the water supply.

Conservation measures are required to maintain essential water services.

The Town provided an updated Water Conservation Notice on Friday, August 8, 2025 informing residents that water levels at the water supply continue to decline and are below normal for this period of time.   The Water Conservation Notice has not been rescinded.

From S.18 of the Water and Sewer Regulations:  (can also be found here: https://carbonear.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Water-and-Sewer-Regulations-latest.pdf)

“No person shall indiscriminately use water …”

Conservation measures are required to maintain essential water services.  During this period of water conservation, residents have been informed to cease watering lawns, using lawn sprinklers, and washing cars and these uses are therefore considered indiscriminate.

Properties that continue to use water in this manner may have their water to their property discontinued.

Everyone is asked to work together to reduce water consumption so we can continue to have water for essential services.

Your continued cooperation and support is appreciated.

Please be advised:

Town crew are completing water main repair on Burgess Place today.

Residents on Burgess Place will experience water service disruptions while the repair work is being completed.

Please reduce speed in the area and obey flagspersons on site.

Due to nearby wildfires, the Carbonear Public Library has expanded hours of service to support those affected.
