Car Wash Ban

Public Service Announcement
Car Wash Ban
May 29, 2023– Iqaluit, Nunavut

The City of Iqaluit would like to remind residents that the car wash ban is still in effect. This ban includes all motor vehicles, boats and trailers –both personal and commercial- and is for City treated water. The car wash ban does not apply to the use of collected rainwater or untreated lake water.

This is in accordance with section 206(3) of Bylaw 200.

These measures are necessary, and are part of the City’s water management strategy. The City would like to remind residents to continue to be water wise, and conserve our water supply.

Certain exemptions may be granted by the City for emergency vehicles, such as ambulances and fire trucks.

Thank you for your ongoing patience in this matter.
