Regular Council Meeting June 28 (revised agenda)

Wednesday, June 28, 2023 @ 6:30 pm Regular Council Meeting Empress Village Office Building 6 3 Avenue West

Water supply

Bulk water will not be sold today, Monday, to let the water tower recover – once again residents are asked to use water sparingly and monitor their water use.  Please consider moving away from greens that require a lot of water and plant greens that are thriving in a very low water required environment.  This is applicable all throughout the summer and as temperatures are rising and forecasted to rise in the next few weeks. Thank you. Administration
