NORTHERN AREA D STAGE ONE WATER RESTRICTIONS START MAY 1st

Stage 1 water restrictions will come into effect on May 1 for Northern Electoral Area D - Ocean Grove Road to Vaughn Road water system users.

Strathcona Regional District’s Stage 1 water restrictions will come into effect on May 1 for Northern Electoral Area D – Ocean Grove Road to Vaughn Road water system users.

Under stage 1, lawn and garden watering with a sprinkler, soaker, or weeper hose is permitted between the hours of 5 am – 8 am and 7 pm – 10 pm.  Watering days for even-number addresses are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and odd-number addresses are Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

Lawn and garden watering is permitted anytime when a hand-held hose with automatic shut-off nozzle is used or with micro or drip irrigation.  Micro and drip irrigation systems must be correctly installed to avoid over-watering.  Over-watering is defined in Bylaw 324 as watering in a manner that saturates the lawn, boulevard, or landscaped area and results in water spreading onto areas beyond them.

For new lawn or sod installation, a special watering permit is required.  Please email engineering@srd.ca for more details.

Stage Two water restrictions will come into effect on July 1st, 2024.
