Water Conservation Program is in effect until September 30

Reminder to Woodstock residents - Oxford County’s Water Conservation Program is in effect from May 1 to September 30.

Under the program, even-numbered addresses should water on even-numbered days, odd numbers on odd days, between the hours of 6-9 a.m. or 6-9 p.m. These restrictions apply to all residents serviced by municipal water. Commercial watering hours are 8-10 a.m. or 3-5 p.m.

Oxford County relies entirely on groundwater for its water supply. Compared to other communities near rivers or lakes, groundwater supplies take much longer to replenish and are more vulnerable to overuse. Last year in Oxford County, water consumption increased by as much as 51% in the summer months.
