HAMILTON, ON – Last week, the City of Hamilton issued a ban on all non-essential outdoor water use across all parts of Hamilton.
Effective immediately, this ban has been lifted and residents are permitted to resume non-essential water use outdoors, including watering lawns, using sprinklers, filling large pools and washing cars.
The City thanks residents for their cooperation in limiting their water use and helping to ensure the water supply in Hamilton was not interrupted. Thanks to the efforts of residents in helping to conserve water, the City was able to lift the ban a few days ahead of schedule.

Effective Friday, June 12, 2020 at 12:01 a.m., the province will increase the limit on social gatherings from five to 10 people across the province.
Tomorrow’s increase in the limit on social gatherings from five people to ten people is exciting news for extended families who wish to gather for small celebrations, dinners or simply want to get together. But, we must still do our part and remain vigilant about our public health precautions as the virus is still active in Ontario.
Remaining cautious will help protect your family and loved ones. While you may be young and the virus may have a limited impact in your health, it has been devastating to our seniors and chronically ill residents. Moreover, we still do not understand why some children and young adults have succumb to the virus. So, please remember to:
self isolate if you feel ill in any manner
wear a mask to protect others from your germs
cough and sneeze into your elbow
wash hands with soap and water
avoid touching your nose, mouth and eyes (entry points for virus)
avoid hand shaking
wipe down hard services with anti-bacterial solutions or wipes
The Linc will be CLOSED this Friday June 12th (starting at 1 p.m.) until Sunday June 14th (finishing before 11 p.m.).
