Stage 2 Water Restrictions will be in effect August 3rd, 2021

Posted:

With no foreseeable break in the hot, dry weather, City staff will be implementing Stage 2 Water Restrictions on Tuesday, August 3rd due to low water flows in both the Mark Creek and Matthew Creek water supply. Kimberley has been in Stage 1 Watering Restrictions since June 1, 2021.

Residents are reminded that during Stage 2 Water Restrictions:

  • Residential properties with an EVEN numbered address, can ONLY water lawns on WEDNESDAYS and SATURDAYS.
  • Residential properties with an ODD numbered address, can only water lawns on THURSDAYS and SUNDAYS.
  • No watering of residential lawns is permitted on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays.
  • Residential properties can water lawns ONLY between 4:00 am to 10:00 am and 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. 
  • Non-residential properties including City lawns, parks and playfields will have further limitations. Those with EVEN addresses can only water on Wednesday between 1:00 am to 6:00 am. Those with ODD addresses can only water on Tuesdays between the same hours.

Residents who have recently planted a new lawn are asked to call the Operations department at 250-427-9660 to discuss how to obtain a permit for watering outside of the allowable dates and times.
