Outdoor Water Use

Due to the ongoing hot, dry conditions, Markham residents are asked to conserve municipal water.  The Region of York has sent out conflicting reports of when outdoor water use is permitted.  Those reports are not for the Town of Markham, as our water is not take from wells or Lake Simcoe.

In the Town of Markham, watering your street trees and gardens is permitted and encouraged.

Lawn watering is only permitted on odd days for odd numbered street addresses and on even days for even numbered street addresses.

Residents may water lawns from 6:00 am to 9:00 am or 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm only.  Commercial properties can water their properties for three hours between midnight and 6:00 am only.

For more information about Markham's water use bylaw (#105-95), please call 905-477-5530.
