Chapleau Asks Residents Conserve Water Amid Maintenance & Hot/Dry Conditions

Chapleau's asking residents to conserve water over the next week.

The Township says scheduled maintenance at the Chapleau Water Treatment Plant - which will take place from June 3rd to 10th - along with the "hot, dry climatic conditions" have prompted the Ontario Clean Water Agency - which operates the Chapleau facility - to ask residents to conserve their water usage and not conduct seasonal items like lawn watering or vehicle washing.

Mayor Ryan Bignucolo assures it's a precaution.

The Splash Pad - which only opened for the season on Tuesday - will also be closed over the week, to aid in the conservation measures.

Anyone with questions is encouraged to call the Civic Centre at 705-864-1330.
