Stage 1 water restrictions will come into effect on May 1 for the Black Creek-Oyster Bay, Comox Valley, Royston and Union Bay Water Systems.
Under stage 1, lawn and garden sprinkling is permitted between the hours of 5 am to 8 am and 7 pm to 10 pm, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for even numbered addresses and Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for odd numbered addresses.
When we use our water efficiently, it impacts more than just the amount of water left to support natural ecosystems. It also helps reduce the costs to operate the water system and lessen future upgrades to water supply infrastructure as well as ensuring there’s enough water for fire protection during drier months.
