The outdoor fire ban has been lifted for the entirety of the Township of Springwater, effective immediately.

The ban was previously in effect from July 17 to August 20, 2025, and was necessary due to prolonged periods of high temperatures and low precipitation which created an environment highly vulnerable to fires. With the improvement in weather conditions, including increased rainfall and cooler temperatures, the risk has lessened, allowing the Township to safely lift the fire ban.
