To conserve water, Powell River is now under Stage one water restrictions.
On social media on Monday, the City announced the restrictions are in effect, with the goal of encouraging residents to save up on water.
Under these restrictions, properties with odd-numbered addresses can water their lawns at any time on odd-numbered days, while those with even-numbered addresses can only water their lawns on even-numbered days.
The city says while sprinkling on lawns, trees, shrubs, and gardens are restricted. Those with underground sprinkling systems controlled by a time clock are excused as long as they sprinkle between midnight and 7:00 a.m.
For outdoor vehicle washing, you can only wash with a hose equipped with a spring-loaded shut off.
For bike and motorcycle tracks, you can only hose for health and safety reasons.
