The SCRD says getting a handle on water restrictions now is going to be more critical than previous years and is asking all residents to do their part.
Restrictions are coming in after successive years of extreme drought and the district says conditions last summer and winter have made it even more important to make sure residents adhere.
During Stage 1 restrictions only pressure washing sidewalks, driveways, windows, or the exterior of buildings is permitted, and manager of utility services Shane Worth says they are taking necessary steps to ensure adequate supply for the summer.
“Along with the province, we are gearing up for a summer which could see significant drought,” he says. “As a result, there is potential that Stage 2 could be implemented earlier than previous years.”
