The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority Water Response Team has declared a Level 1 Low Water Advisory for the entire watershed area.
This decision was made due to three months of low precipitation levels.
The team also made the decision based on the real-time water flows that are well below the springtime low water indicator.
A Level 1 Low Water Advisory asks residents to voluntarily reduce water use by 10 percent.

A Level 1 Low Water Advisory includes a request for a 10 per cent voluntary reduction in water use. A Level 2 Low Water Advisory calls for an additional 10 per cent (total of 20 per cent) voluntary reduction in water use. A Level 3 Low Water Advisory may involve mandatory water use restrictions.
