The city of St. John’s is asking residents to conserve water as the effects of an unusually dry summer continue to be felt.
The city says water levels in its supply system remain low and have not started to recover.
The city is asking residents, businesses, and anyone connected to the city’s water system to voluntarily reduce their water use.
Residents are being asked to take shorter showers, turn off their taps while doing things like brushing your teeth or shaving, running dishwashers and washing machines only when they are full, and fixing any leaky taps or toilets.
City officials will speak with reporters this afternoon at 2:30 to discuss the situation. VOCM News will be there.
