Watering restrictions come into effect April 1
Changes in watering restrictions this year
On Friday,
April 1, Stage 1 watering restrictions will come into effect. Stage 1 consists
of night-time watering only, between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am, any day of the week.
The City of Nanaimo, in cooperation with other water suppliers in the
Regional District of Nanaimo, recently adopted a unified approach to watering
restrictions. Both the City and Regional District will use the same
classification for each watering restriction stage (Stages 1 through 4). Also
concurrent will be the allotted hours for watering and start dates for watering
restriction Stages 1 and 2.
For more information on the region-wide
watering restrictions, visit www.teamwatersmart.ca.
Stage 1 watering
restrictions start April 1, and consist of night-time watering only, between the
hours of 7:00 pm and 7:00 am, any day of the week.
Stage 2 will run
from May 1 to September 30. Even numbered addresses can water even days of the
month; odd numbered addresses can water odd days of the month, for two hours
only, between 7:00 am and 10:00 am OR between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm.

stage in each area of the region.
"The new watering
restrictions are part of the City’s waterworks bylaw. While the new restrictions
are defined the same way across the region there are changes for Nanaimo's
residents especially with Stage 1 starting on April 1. There may be an
adjustment, but we are confident that the clearer rules will make for a smooth
transition." - Bill Sims City of
Nanaimo
