If you’re in Morden, you’ll have to wait a little while before washing your car at home or watering your landscaping.
The southern Manitoba city says it’s experiencing a severe drought — with current lake levels nearly seven feet below the full supply level — and as a result, it has put in place a response plan to help residents and businesses conserve city water.
The plan includes a shutdown of water use in non-essential industrial operations, an even/odd-day schedule for garden and food production watering, a shutdown of any pools or splash pads using city water, and other voluntary rationing for homeowners, restaurants and more.
