Information taken from official sources and the press, with no legal value. Only the order published by your municipality is binding: check it if in doubt.
What is banned or limited
- Watering lawns, gardens and plants with tap water
- Watering vegetable gardens, limited or subject to conditions
- Cleaning pavements, terraces, façades and roofs
- Filling swimming pools, ponds and hot tubs
- Washing vehicles outside car washes
- Using water from rainwater tanks, beyond permitted needs
Details of the order
- Only household and professional needs and sparing watering of vegetable gardens without hose nozzle or jet remain allowed, including with rainwater from tanks.
- Children's paddling pools of up to 60 litres allowed.
Complying with the order and living normally
Tap water remains available for drinking, cooking, washing and hygiene. For everything else, a few adjustments are enough.
Terraces and pavements
Broom and brush rather than a hose or pressure washer; the big clean-up can wait.
Pool and pond
Do not empty your pool: cover it to limit evaporation and look after the existing water. Filling will wait until the order is lifted.
A clean car
Use a car wash, which recycles part of its water, or wait until the order is lifted.
Rainwater included
Here the order also covers the water in your tanks: keep it for permitted uses and take the time to clean gutters and filter before the rain returns.
Good everyday habits
Hunt down leaks
Read the meter in the evening and again in the morning without using water: if it has moved, there is a leak. A running toilet wastes dozens of litres a day.
Learn moreFull appliances
Run the washing machine and dishwasher full, on eco programmes; a short shower rather than a bath.
Private well
Before relying on it more, have the pump and water quality checked: a low water table makes the pump run dry and concentrates iron or manganese.
