Saugeen Shores has lifted its temporary watering ban.
A media release from the Town says that's due to recent rain and excellent compliance from residents in the past several days to help maintain the water treatment system.
The Town says residents are urged to continue conserving water where possible.
Those living at odd numbered addresses can water their lawns with municipal water on odd numbered days, and those at even numbered properties can water lawns on even days.
They say you should only water your lawn between 7 and 9 in the morning and 7 and 9 in the evening.
The Town adds, watering by sandpoint/well requires a permit and a sign must be displayed that is clearly visible from the street.
The Town is asking people to continue practicing conservation and refrain from unnecessarily watering lawns, filling pools, or washing cars.
Some tips from Town staff to reduce water usage:
Use mulch around shrubs and garden plants to reduce evaporation
Aerate grass to allow water into the root zone
Use a higher cutting height: longer grass helps reduce evaporation and helps to prevent weeds
Water in the morning to reduce evaporation
Most lawns only need about 2.5 to 4 cm (1 to 1-1/2 inches) of water per week to stay lush and green.
