The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) is asking South Pender Harbour Water System users to cut down their water use, which remains high despite the system being moved to Stage 2 water restrictions last week.
The high water use means that residents in the system are using "more water than the SCRD can sustainably supply — especially during wildfire season," said an SCRD statement.
Lawn watering in any form is not allowed. The SCRD also asks that non-essential water use –– like washing vehicles –– be limited and if you're cleaning a driveway, use a broom instead of a hose.
Acting now helps avoid tougher regulations later and protects water for what matters most, said the SCRD.
