The fire ban in the Village limits has been lifted.  Council decided at its June 17th meeting that decisions on possible fire bans would be made by the Village Manager in consultation with the Fire Chief.  Residents would be informed via this website, the Village entrance sign, and a phone fan-out.

Click HERE to view the Village of Bawlf's lawn watering restrictions.  Violators will be subject to significant fines. Note that these restrictions are in place to ensure that lawns are not watered in the heat of the day, when the water is wasted due to evaporation.  They are not meant to prevent people from washing cars or children from running through sprinklers.

The Municipal Sustainability Plan Community Consultation, held on June 23, was a success.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to attend and offer their opinions on Bawlf's future.  Click HERE for the text of the Mayor's opening remarks.
