The following activities are not allowed for anyone connected to the Sherbrooke Water Utility:
- Watering lawns, trees, shrubs, or flower beds

Residents may still water vegetable gardens but are urged to do so sparingly and in the early morning.

Anyone found breaking this order may have their water service disconnected and be required to pay reconnection fees, as outlined in the Schedule of Rules and Regulations Governing the Supply of Water and Water Services and the Schedule of Rates for Water and Water Services.
