- Vegetable gardens: watering allowed.
- Banned uses remain allowed with water other than tap water (well, rainwater), between 8 pm and 8 am.
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.
Water differently
Use rainwater, early in the morning or in the evening, at the foot of the plants rather than with a sprinkler. Mulch keeps the soil moist; a yellow lawn recovers with the rain.
Learn moreFarming and livestock
Watering animals remains the priority: store rainwater, check pipes and troughs, and contact your supplier for essential needs.
Sports grounds
Clubs and municipalities: mow higher to limit drying out, and water only with rainwater or recycled water where allowed.
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.
Good everyday habits
Harvest rainwater
Connected to toilets, washing machine and garden, a rainwater tank covers a large share of a household's needs without drawing on the mains.
Learn moreHunt 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.
