Stage 1 water restrictions will be coming into effect on May 1 for several municipalities in the Comox Valley Regional District.
The restrictions apply to the Comox Valley Water System, the Royston Water Local Service Area, the Black Creek-Oyster Bay Water Local Service Area, and the Union Bay Water Local Service Area.
According to a release from the Comox Valley Regional District, the restrictions are implemented every year around this time, partially as a conservation tool, but also to prepare for Stage 2 restrictions when lake levels begin to decrease and BC Hydro adjusts the Puntledge River water flows.
The watering schedules are as follows.
Black Creek – Oyster Bay Water Local Service Area
Comox Valley Water System
Royston Water Local Service Area
Union Bay Water Local Service Area
