Quinte Region residents are being asked to voluntarily cut back on their water usage during the ongoing heatwave.
With lower than average rainfall over the past few months, both Lower Trent and Quinte Conservation have declared low watershed conditions and staff say you can help by reducing your water usage by about 10% where possible.
Residents are asked to limit things like watering the lawn or garden, or washing cars and are recommending using rain barrels to collect runoff to be used for those types of things.
The low watershed conditions statement will be in effect until further notice.
