The City of Laval has created watering restrictions in Laval to promote responsible water use during the hot season. These rules apply from May 1 to September 30. Importantly, the watering schedule changes based on your exact address, including the civic number and postal code.

When can you water?

You can use automatic and non-automatic watering systems twice a week during specific hours. However, each area in Laval has different assigned days.

Automatic systems follow this early morning schedule from 4:30 to 6:00 a.m.:

Postal Codes	Days
H7B, H7G, H7L, H7N, H7S, H7V, H7X	Mondays and Thursdays
H7A, H7H, H7M, H7R, H7W	Tuesdays and Fridays
H7C, H7E, H7J, H7K, H7P, H7T, H7Y	Wednesdays and Saturdays

Manual watering is allowed daily from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. and from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. You must hold the hose by hand and use a nozzle with an automatic shut-off.

What about the rest of the year?

From October 1 to April 30, the city bans all automatic and non-automatic watering systems. Still, you can water flowers, gardens, or vegetable plots by hand. You may also use a watering can at any time.

What are the penalties?

By-law L-12778 enforces the watering restrictions in Laval. If you break the rules, you could face fines:

• Individuals: from $100 to $1,000

• Businesses or repeat offenders: up to $4,000
