A prefectural decree, dated September 30, 2026, has updated water restriction measures in Gironde. The area of the Laurence basin, where Yvrac is situated, remains subject to a reinforced alert.
These restrictions specifically concern water drawn from watercourses and directly dependent resources, such as certain wells, springs, and aquifers. They aim to preserve water resources in the face of persistent drought.
For kitchen gardens, watering is prohibited between 8 AM and 8 PM. Lawns and flower beds must not be watered, with the exception of young plantations which benefit from exemptions provided for in the decree.
Regarding the mains water supply, vigilance is maintained, and residents are asked to limit their consumption. The full prefectural decree, accompanied by a detailed map, is available to consult specific restrictions for each location and depending on the origin of the water used.
The municipality calls for collective action: "Together, let's preserve water!"
