Water Conservation Notice for Gander - August 13, 2025

Out of caution and care, we’re asking residents to limit water use where possible. There are wildfires burning across the province, and first responders are working hard to protect our communities.

We love our beautiful, deep Gander Lake. It’s big, clean, and serves us well but our water systems can only treat and pump so much at a time. Using a little less at home helps support the services we all count on.

To help reduce demand, we’re asking residents to:

- Water lawns on even-numbered days if your house number is even.

- Water lawns on odd-numbered days if your house number is odd.

- Keep lawn watering to no more than 1 hour per day.

Simple ways to save water:

- Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth

- Only run the dishwasher or washing machine when full

- Take shorter showers

- Fix any drips or leaks around the house

- Turn off hoses and outdoor taps when not in use

- Let your lawn go a bit longer between waterings

- Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways or decks

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation. Conserving water now helps ensure it’s available when we need it most.
