Consumption of drinking water
Thank you to everyone who participated in our water saving kit distribution initiative. You can pick yours up as soon as Monday, June 19th at the Public Works counter at City Hall (451 Saint-Jean Boulevard). |
We often take for granted one of our most precious resources – clean drinking water. Without even realizing it, we use water every day, especially in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. During hot summer days, our consumption only further increases with yard work and the outdoor leisure activities we do to cool off.
And so, here are a few tips to consume it more responsibly:
Obtain a water saving kit
To encourage citizens to take concrete action regarding their water consumption, the City of Pointe-Claire will give away 250 water-saving kits to residents of Pointe-Claire. As of June 1, 2023, residents will be able to reserve their kit using an online form on the City’s website, on a first-come, first-served basis.
By filling out the form, you will have the choice between two sets: one including a fixed shower head and two sink faucet heads (50 kits available) or another including a telephone-style shower head and two sink faucets (200 kits available). Citizens will be able to pick up the kit of their choice at the Public Works counter at City Hall (451 Saint-Jean Boulevard) as of June 19, 2023. You will need to present your MULTI card to obtain your water saving kit.
