Effective immediately, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is implementing mandatory Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures for all RDCK water systems.

The RDCK currently operates 18 water systems that includes:

  • Balfour
  • Burton
  • Duhamel
  • Edgewood
  • Erickson-Arrow Creek
  • Fauquier
  • Grandview Properties
  • Lister
  • Lucas Road
  • McDonald Creek
  • Riondel
  • Rosebery Highlands
  • Sanca Park
  • South Slocan
  • West Robson
  • Woodbury Village
  • Woodland Heights
  • Ymir

The RDCK said that Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures have been implemented due to increased demands and near-capacity water treatment plant production, with anticipated extreme hot/dry weather in the forecast.

Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures include:

  • Watering of lawns, gardens, trees and shrubs using a sprinkler or irrigation system is ONLY permitted between 6—10 a.m. and 8 — 10 p.m.
  • Watering of gardens, trees and shrubs using a hand-held hose with a shut-off nozzle, a watering can, or drip-irrigation system is still permitted anytime.

The RDCK appreciates your cooperation in adhering to the above water conservation measures.

Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures will remain in effect until further notice. Stricter water conservation measures may be required if demand increases significantly or hot and dry weather persists.
