RDCK, City of Trail to impose Stage 1 water conservation measures next week

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) will impose Stage 1 water conservation measures on June 1.  

The measures will be in place until September 30, but the RDCK warns they could increase to Stage 2, 3 or 4 if hot and dry weather spikes demand, or if reservoirs decline to critically low levels. 

Stage 1 measures mean you can only water your lawns, gardens, trees, and shrubs between 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. Watering using drip irrigation, a watering can, or a handheld hose remains permitted at any time. 

More information on RDCK water conservation measures and a complete description of stages 1 through 4 can be found here. 

The City of Trail is also imposing Stage 1 restrictions on June 1. 

In the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), Stage 1 measures are already in place for the Beaver Valley Water Service and the Christina Lake Water Utility.

More information on RDKB water conservation measures can be found here.
