Outdoor water ban issued for Winchester and Chesterville
Residents in Winchester and Chesterville cannot water the lawn and garden or set up a slip and slide during this hot and humid weather. The Township of North Dundas has issued an outdoor water use ban for all residential, commercial, institutional and industrial users who are connected to the municipal water system. 'Since the Outdoor Water Use Restriction was put in place on July 18, groundwater levels in our drinking water sources have continued to decline,' the township said in a statement. 'The lack of recent rainfall and limited forecasted precipitation have not allowed the aquifers—where our drinking water is sourced from—to adequately recharge.' During the outdoor water ban, residents are prohibited from: Lawn watering Vegetable garden and flowerbed watering Recreational water use (e.g., sprinklers, slip and slides) Sod or landscape watering Car washing Driveway cleaning Window and siding washing 'This ban is necessary to ensure we can continue to meet essential water needs, such as drinking, cooking, sanitation, and firefighting,' the township said. Last week, conservation authorities in eastern Ontario issued a warning about low water levels across multiple watersheds. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and the South Nation Conservation Authority have all identified a 'Level 1 – Minor' low water status in their regions. There has been no rain in Ottawa since a trace of rain was recorded at the Ottawa Airport on July 27. The last significant rainfall was on July 24, with 8.4 mm of rain.

Driver charged twice this weekend for driving while suspended on eastern Ontario highways
Ontario Provincial Police say this driver was charged on Friday in Russell Township and Sunday in Ottawa for driving while suspended. (OPP/X) A North Dundas Township man is facing several charges, including two counts of driving while suspended, after being stopped twice in three days on eastern Ontario roads. Ontario Provincial Police said an officer stopped a vehicle on Notre Dame Street in Russell Township on Friday after the Automated Licence Plate Recognition camera flagged a licence plate that should not be in use. 'The driver was arrested and charged for driving while suspended under the Criminal Code, as well as for having an unauthorized plate and having open cannabis in the vehicle,' the OPP said in a media release. At approximately 10:30 a.m. Sunday, an officer stopped a driver for using a handheld device while driving on Hwy. 417 in Ottawa. 'It was learned that the driver has a suspended licence and had actually been arrested Friday on Notre Dame Street in Russell Township and was charged then,' the OPP said. 'In both cases, the individual had been driving borrowed vehicles, both of which were impounded.' The driver is facing two counts of operation while prohibited under the Criminal Code, seven counts of driving while under suspension, and one count each of distracted driving, using a plate not authorized for a vehicle and driving with cannabis in open packaging. The driver is scheduled to appear in court on Monday. Police say the borrowed vehicle stopped on Friday will be impounded for 45 days, while the vehicle stopped on Sunday will be impounded for 90 days.
