Quebec town forced to restrict water use as reserves run empty

Quebec town forced to restrict water use as reserves run empty

The municipal water reserves of Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly are extremely low, following dry weather conditions, a heatwave and excessive tap water use, the town's mayor says. Residents of the municipality, located some 48 km from Quebec City, have been under a water restriction since Saturday. Residents who try to use municipal tap water for non-essential reasons — including watering grass and plants, filling swimming pools, or washing their car — will face fines of at least $100 until further notice.
