The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has declared a return to Stage 1 outdoor water use restrictions for all regional water customers south of Pender Harbour.
The recent rains have replenished the reservoirs to support Stage 1 supply, the SCRD said in its Sept. 22 announcement.
The SCRD also extended thanks to all regional water customers “for their diligence in conserving water through this summer’s drought.”
Sprinklers, soaker hoses, irrigation systems and other watering devices can now be used for outdoor watering under to the Stage 1 schedule:
• For even addresses outdoor watering is allowed Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
• For odd addresses outdoor water use is allowed on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Hand held hoses with shut-off devices can be used anytime for watering trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables.
