The Level 2 low water condition has been downgraded to level one by Cataraqui Conservation and their Low Water Response Team thanks to a very wet July.
Cataraqui Conservation Watershed Planning Coordinator Holly Evans says The month of July was wetter than normal with the regional average precipitation at 165% of normal. All low water indicators used to identify low water conditions are starting to show normal conditions at the end of July with the exception of Wilton Creek and Millhaven Creek which are still showing a Level 2 low water condition.
Residents on groundwater systems or that draw from inland lakes or streams are still being asked to voluntarily conserve water by Reduce non-essential water uses, Limiting outside watering of plants and lawns and Repairing any leaky plumbing or fixtures to help curtail water wastage.
