- Lawn watering, all irrigation and other non-essential uses of potable water.
- Customers with odd-numbered addresses may water their lawns on odd numbered days.
- Customers with even-numbered addresses may water their lawns on even-numbered days.
- There will be a two-month grace period for newly sodded lawns.
“Due to the limitations of the current temporary water treatment plant in Wheatley and the extended hot weather that this region has been experiencing, lawn watering has placed extra demands on the water system” PUC general manager Darren Galbraith said in a release.
The commission may implement further restrictions if the water system does not see any relief, the release said.

The water use restriction policy was approved by the commission in August 2003.
Road resurfacing in Chatham
Road resurfacing will begin Monday, May 27, on Grand Avenue West and Lacroix Street in Chatham, Chatham-Kent says.
The work is slated to be done by June 14, weather permitting, a municipal release said.
The road segments being resurfaced are:
- Grand Avenue West from Keil Drive North to Churchill Street
- Lacroix Street from Grand Ave West to King Street West
Both roads will remain open and access will be maintained to all properties and businesses during construction.
There may be temporary traffic disruptions and drivers are asked to be patient in the construction zone and respect workers’ safety, municipal officials said.
Bus stops on Route 1 will remain in service for the duration of the project.
