Quesnel Sprinkler and Irrigation Restrictions Start on May 15

Residents of Quesnel are being given a friendly reminder that tomorrow, May 15, is the start of the City’s sprinkler and irrigation bylaw restrictions.

From May 15 until September 30, residents of the town will be split into two categories on a municipal-wide watering schedule.

People in even-numbered properties can run their sprinklers and irrigation systems on even-numbered calendar days. People in odd-numbered properties can sprinkle and irrigate on odd-numbered calendar days.

Sprinklers and irrigation systems may only be run between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., and 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. through the summer, on the appropriate days a property is eligible to sprinkle.

This goes for properties connected within City limits and to the City’s water system as well.

User caught sprinkling or irrigating not on their scheduled day may receive a $50 fine from the City’s Bylaw.

In 2024, no one received a fine from the city.

The City of Quesnel says these restrictions are in place to allow the system to keep up with the demands for clean drinking water, irrigation, and commercial use. It also allows more water to be saved and stored in case of emergencies like a fire.
