Water Restrictions in Effect

Media Advisory
For Immediate Release
January 29, 2024

Morinville Implements Water Restrictions

Effective immediately, Morinville has entered into “Water Demand Measure B” in an effort to lessen non-essential water usage. The restriction is a precautionary measure while EPCOR is conducting repairs at the E.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant. During these repairs there is reduced available supply of water.

Until further notice, residents are asked to reduce or postpone all non-essential water use by:
• Taking short five-minute showers
• Postponing laundry and dish washing
• Waiting to fill hot tubs, pools or large aquariums
• Turning off taps while shaving and brushing teeth
• Flushing toilets only when necessary

Until further notice, Town operations will be reducing all non-essential water use by:
• Suspending sewer flushing, firefighter hydrant training, or other heavy water use activities.

A water restriction requires reduction of non-essential water use. It differs from a water ban, which prohibits all non-essential water use. Residents will be advised once the repair is completed, and water consumption can return to normal.
