Ladysmith has moved to stage two watering restrictions and is asking residents to do their part to conserve water as dry summer conditions begin to settle in.
The Town has been under stage 1 water restrictions since the beginning of May and moved to the second stage as of June 2.
“We urge all residents to follow these water restrictions. These measures are in place to ensure we use water wisely during the hotter months. By watering only on designated days and during cooler times, we can significantly reduce waste and help ensure a reliable water supply for the whole community,” says Nicholas Pescod, the Town’s communications and engagement specialist.
Outdoor watering is not permitted between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. to reduce water loss from evaporation.
Lawn sprinkling is allowed for two hours per designated day – Wednesdays for even-numbered addresses and Sundays for odd-numbered addresses.
Residents are also expected to avoid washing driveways, houses and sidewalks.
The restrictions are for the Town of Ladysmith, Stz’uminus First Nation, and the Diamond Improvement District.
