Town encourages residents to use water wisely

We are encouraging residents to use water wisely where possible. Small changes made by many households can have a meaningful impact on conserving our community's water supply.

Have you considered using grey water as an alternative for your garden?

What is Grey Water?

Grey water refers to gently used household wastewater. It is water that may contain soap residue, food particles, and minor contaminants, but does not contain harmful sewage or toilet water (human waste). It can be water collected in dehumidifiers or water collected from the bath or shower when waiting for the right temperature. It is a great option for watering plants and gardens.

Grey Water Does Not Include:

• Toilet water (contains human waste)
• Water from dishwashers (due to grease, food particles, and strong detergents)
• Laundry water with bleach or harsh chemical detergents
• Water containing chemicals, fats, oils, or grease
