Stage 1 water conservation measures will be imposed on Saturday, June 1, for residents on Regional District of Central Kootenay water systems.
The measures will be in place until September 30 but may increase to one of the three additional stages if water demand spikes due to hot and dry weather, or if reservoirs decline to critically low levels.
Stage 1 measures mean you can only water your lawns, gardens, trees, and shrubs between 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. However, watering using drip irrigation, a watering can, or a handheld hose is still permitted at any time.
More information on RDCK water conservation measures and a complete description of stages 1 through 4 can be found here.
The City of Trail is also imposing Stage 1 restrictions on June 1.
In the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, Stage 1 measures are already in place for the Beaver Valley Water Service, the Christina Lake Water Utility, and the Rivervale Water Utility.
