514-900-3867How to use this tool
Enter your Montreal house number to find your permitted watering days and times. Montreal uses an odd-even system: houses with odd numbers water on odd calendar days, and houses with even numbers water on even days. The tool displays your specific schedule including morning and evening watering windows that comply with current city water conservation bylaws.
Why it matters
Montreal's watering restrictions are enforced from June through September, with fines for non-compliance. Proper watering timing is also essential for lawn and garden health: watering in the early morning reduces evaporation and fungal disease risk, while evening watering can promote mold growth. Deep, infrequent watering encourages deeper root growth compared to shallow daily watering, making your lawn more drought-resistant during Montreal's hot summer stretches.
