Your local actions, big and small, can positively impact your neighbours, the river, our community and our planet! It can be easy to green your everyday life. Start with the small stuff, get everyone involved and make it a family affair!

The Town appreciates the measures residents take each year to lower water use during the peak demand periods in summer months. Managing our water resources wisely, with your help, is important so our community can rely on our water system for many years to come.
