This is a reminder to all residents of Tsawwassen Lands that Stage 1 watering restrictions will be in effect from May 1 until October 15, 2024 as outlined in Metro Vancouver’s Drinking Water Conservation Plan. https://metrovancouver.org/services/water/Documents/drinking-water-conservation-plan.pdf
Stage 1 comes into effect automatically each year to manage the use of drinking water during periods of high demand, water shortages, and emergencies.
Reducing lawn watering remains the most effective way to ensure we are using our drinking water wisely during the summer months when demand is highest and rainfall is lowest. One morning per week provides adequate watering time to maintain a healthy lawn and achieve further water use reductions. Watering trees, shrubs and flowers is permitted any day of the week.
Successful conservation across the region will help us to continue to deliver drinking water to the increasing number of people who call Metro Vancouver home. Additionally, sustainable lawn care and landscaping practices can help residents prepare for changing weather patterns, to continue to enjoy their green spaces.
