Stage 2 water conservation measures in effect for all RDCK water systems
July 10, 2024
Nelson, BC: 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.
The Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures have been implemented due to increased demands and in some cases, water treatment plant capacity 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 6:00 am - 10:00 am and 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm.
- 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.
