Watering

The City of Dorval requests the cooperation of its citizens to conserve water throughout the year. In that sense, watering restrictions are in effect from June 1 to September 1 of each year, as follows:

BY SPRINKLERS OR SOAKER HOSES:

  • Watering is permitted from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. (if it does not rain), as follows:
    • Even-numbered civic address: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
    • Odd-numbered civic address: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday

BY AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEMS:

  • Must be equipped, among others, with an automatic humidity sensor
  • Must be programmed between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., as follows:
    • Even-numbered civic address: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
    • Odd-numbered civic address: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday

EXCEPTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS:

  • Manuel watering of gardens, flowers, trees, and shrubs, using a hose fitted with a self-closing nozzle, is permitted at all times.
  • The watering of a newly installed lawn, of a new tree, or of new landscaping is permitted daily during the 15 days following installation, planting, or landscaping, after obtaining a permit, free of charge, from the Urban Planning Department. It is possible to apply through the City's Online Requests portal. Once you have completed the steps, you will receive your permit by email.  

Those who contravene these restrictions could receive a fine of up to $1,000 in a residential area and a fine of up to $2,000 in a commercial area.

The rest of the year, common sense and respect for water, a precious resource, must dictate your actions. In Dorval, like everywhere else, much water is wasted on excessive watering and evaporation. Lawns and gardens need water, but less than one would think. Generally, they need 2 to 3 centimetres of water per week in order to develop deep roots.

It is also wise to use a broom to clean the driveway or the sidewalk rather than spraying it down with water. This saves hundreds of litres of water each time.
