Soggy spring won’t delay watering restrictions across Metro Vancouver
VANCOUVER — Lawn watering restrictions are now in effect across Metro Vancouver despite a soggy spring.
The regional district says the restrictions are aimed at conserving drinking water during the driest part of the year and will remain in effect until Oct. 15.
Residential lawn watering is permitted three days per week, with even-numbered addresses watering on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m., and odd-numbered addresses watering Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday over the same five-hour period.
Lawn watering is the first stage of what could be escalating restrictions under Metro Vancouver’s plan to deal with possible water shortages.
