Posted on
Stage 3 Water Restrictions will be in effect as of July 10th, 2026 for users of the Cumberland Water System. Stage 3 restrictions will help reduce the demand on our water supply, and ensure an adequate amount of water for daily use and emergency fire suppression throughout the summer months.
All previously issued Lawn Watering Permits are no longer valid.

- All hoses must have an automatic shut-off device.
- Water must not unnecessarily run off on impermeable surfaces such as driveways, curbs, pathways or gutters when watering lawns or plants.
- Hoses and taps must not run unnecessarily.

The following is NOT permitted under Stage 3 Restrictions:
- watering a lawn or boulevard
- filling a swimming pool, hot tub or garden pond.
- filling or operating a non re-circulating fountain.
- washing a vehicle or a boat with water.
