Stage 1 Water Restrictions in Effect Monday May 1
Posted on
The Village of Cumberland water system will be under annual Stage 1 water restrictions, which come into effect every year on May 1st.
Under Stage 1, lawn sprinkling is permitted between the hours of 4 am – 10 am and 7 pm -10 pm, on Wednesday and Saturday for even numbered addresses and Thursday and Sunday for odd numbered addresses.
Stage 2 and 3 are implemented by Village Council depending on the severity of the water shortage. Predictions for this year, based on the low snowfall (below 50% of normal on the island), are that we may see restrictions beyond stage 1 early in the year. Please do your part to reduce water consumption. The best time to water is early in the morning or in the evening. Mulch your garden and top dress your lawn with organics to help conserve soil moisture.
