Recent rains have given hope to owners of wells affected by drought, but many remain dry. To help them, municipalities such as Alfred-Plantagenet, The Nation and Clarence-Rockland offer temporary access to municipal water. Residents can fill up to 1000 litres of water per day free of charge or use the municipal showers. These emergency measures aim to support rural households while waiting for the water table level to recover.
