RECOMMENDATIONS:
Watering and efficient water use
Water is a vital resource that touches every part of our daily lives — from cooking and cleaning to gardening and recreation. During the summer months, water use often spikes, leading to unnecessary waste.
Applicable regulations
To ensure responsible use of drinking water, the Town of Kirkland has established regulations that govern how it may be used. These rules are set out in the following municipal by-law:
- By-law No. 2012-55 on the use of drinking water
Rules regarding the use of drinking water
- Manual watering using a hose fitted with an automatic shut-off device is allowed at all times.
- The watering of lawns, hedges, trees, shrubs or other plants using portable sprinklers or porous hoses is allowed only between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m.
Automatic sprinkler systems must be equipped with the following devices:
- An automatic humidity sensor or an automatic shut-off device in case of rain
- A reduced-pressure backflow prevention device to protect the water distribution system against contamination
- A handle or gate valve with manual closing used exclusively in the event of breakage
- An electric valve to be activated by an electric control mechanism for automatic sprinkler control or sprinkler cycle control.
The watering of a new lawn or new landscaping is permitted at any time for a period of 15 days after the planting or laying of sod.
A vehicle may be washed at any time provided that a wash pail or garden hose equipped with an automatic shut-off mechanism is used.
Ponds and water features must be equipped with:
- A functioning water recirculation system, or
- An on-call activation system
Supplying such ponds or water features with drinking water on a continuous basis is prohibited.
Any person who contravenes a provision of By-law No. 2012-55 commits an offence and is liable:
- For a first offence:
Natural Person: to a fine of $100 to $1,000
Legal Person: to a fine of $100 to $2,000 - For a subsequent offence:
Natural Person: to a fine of $200 to $2,000
Legal Person: to a fine of $200 to 4 000 $
In all cases, some fees are added to the fine.
Tips for reducing water consumption
The Town of Kirkland proposes tips and simple steps you can use daily to reduce water waste
HOME
- Compare your water meter reading with that of previous years to gauge your consumption.
- Take a quick shower instead of a bath.
- Sweep your driveway instead of hosing it down.
- Don’t let water run uselessly when brushing your teeth or shaving.
- Replace defective washers to prevent taps from leaking. Replace old taps, shower heads and toilet flushes with modern water-saving models.
- Put a water pitcher in the fridge if you like to drink cold water.
- Don’t throw your garbage in the toilet.
- Adjust your washing machine’s water level according to the load of laundry you are washing and load your dishwasher to its full capacity before starting it.
LAWN
- Water your gardens and lawns early in the morning or late at night to prevent water from evaporating too quickly under the sun.
- Water your lawn only once a week, by soaking the soil 2.5 cm deep, and skip a week if it has rained heavily.
- Cut your grass 7.5 cm from the ground. Taller grass holds water better.
- Get a rain water barrel which you can then use to water your lawn and gardens.
POOL
- Use a solar blanket to cover your pool. A medium-sized pool that is not covered can lose up to 4,000 litres of water/month to evaporation.
