Stage 2 Watering Restrictions have been implemented by the Cariboo Regional District for users of the Lac La Hache water system.
The restrictions started on September 2 and will remain in effect until further notice.
The Stage 2 Restrictions are:
- Water sprinkling is only permitted from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on designated days.
- Even-numbered premises may be watered on Wednesdays and Sundays.
- Odd-numbered premises may water on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
- Manual or hand watering using a hose equipped with a manual on/off attachment, or with a watering can, is allowed at any time.
- Watering of recently laid sod is permitted without restriction.
The Regional District says these watering measures are being put in place to help maintain an adequate water supply and ensure the system remains sustainable during periods of high demand.
