Please Conserve Your Water Usage - Advisory
The Town of Oxford is asking for your assistance in conserving our water reserves. As other areas around the province are experiencing a strained water supply, due to the prolonged period of minimal rainfall, we would like to conserve as much water as possible to ensure there is enough water for everyone to use.
We kindly request that you consider the following:
☑ Limit outdoor watering to the minimum necessary
☑ Take shorter showers and turn off the tap while brushing your teeth
☑ Run full loads of laundry and dishes
☑ Check for and repair any leaks in your home
☑ Refrain from washing your vehicles until the advisory is lifted
Your cooperation and mindful water usage are crucial during this dry period.
Thank you for your commitment to our community and for helping us conserve this vital resource.
