Watering your lawn
Less watering can actually strengthen your lawn by forcing your grass roots to grow deeper looking for water.
Hamilton's Water Works By-law No. 23-235 restricts lawn, garden, sidewalk, or road watering to every other day.
- If your home is even-numbered you are permitted to water on even numbered days.
- If your home has an odd-numbered you are permitted to water on odd-numbered days.
For those residents without a municipal address:
- If you live on the west side or north side of the street you are permitted to water on odd-numbered days.
- If you live on the east side or south side of the street you are permitted to water on even-numbered days.
While there are no time restrictions, unless notified by letter or through the media, it is best to water in the early morning or late evening when the water demand is lower.
To complain about a neighbour who is watering their lawn on the incorrect day, call Municipal Law Enforcement at 905-546-2489 and report their exact address.
