Public Notice: RQM Municipal Voluntary Water Conservation Measures
October 7, 2025: Region of Queens Municipal water utility customers (Liverpool and Brooklyn) are asked to take steps to conserve water starting immediately. Water levels in the Town Lake Reservoir have been decreasing due to lack of rain and there is limited rain in the forecast. The water remains safe to use, but users must begin conservation measures now to lower consumption until lake levels recover. The Municipality recognizes that sometimes requests to conserve water can unintentionally lead to increased usage, and request that people are cautious of the amount of water they are using and do their best to limit use for the benefit of all water utility customers.
The next scheduled update will be in the afternoon of Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
Here are a few easy ways to conserve water immediately:
- Limit lawn and garden watering
- Fix any leaks or dripping faucets
- Take shorter showers and turn off taps when not in use
- Only run dishwashers and washing machines with full loads
The cooperation of Region of Queens Water Utility customers to do their part to conserve water is appreciated.
