Back to SearchThe Township of Russell has had water restrictions in place in Embrun since October due to water tower repairs. These restrictions will remain in effect until the water tower is back in service, which is currently expected by mid-June.
Residents are asked to use water only when absolutely necessary. The Township is sharing an update to the terms of outdoor water use during this period.
Under the restriction, outdoor water use is limited as follows:
- Residents with odd-numbered addresses may water lawns on odd-numbered dates except between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.
- Residents with even-numbered addresses may water lawns on even-numbered dates except between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m.
- The use of automatic sprinklers and pressure washing of driveways is not allowed.
These restrictions apply to residents of Embrun communities served by the Township of Russell’s water distribution system. This applies even when the water source is supplied by the City of Ottawa.
For more information, visit www.russell.ca. Once the restriction is lifted, an update will be shared on the Township website and through social media. If you have questions, please contact 613-443-1747 or email infrastructure@russell.ca.
