To obtain a watering permit, residents must contact the Client Services Centre at 613-446-6022.

In accordance with By‑law 2020‑36, which regulates the use of water within the City of Clarence‑Rockland, the City issues free watering permits to residents who are:

  • sowing grass seed, or
  • installing new sod.

These permits are:

  • valid for ten (10) consecutive days, and
  • allow watering for up to approximately four (4) hours per day, if required.

Watering permits provide a temporary exception to the watering restrictions set out in By‑law 2020‑36, which otherwise governs the mechanical watering of lawns and vegetation between May 1 and September 30.

Watering permits are not issued for lawn treatments, including fertilizing, weed control, or other routine lawn maintenance.
