Watering your lawn is now stricter as Powell River’s under Stage two water restrictions.
On Friday, the City implemented stage two restrictions a month after announcing Stage one restrictions. This change aims to encourage residents to save water.

Under these restrictions, odd-numbered homes can water on odd calendar days only from midnight to 9:00 a.m. Even-numbered homes can water in those hours, but only on even calendar days.
The city asks you to use one hose for sprinkling, and to not use sprinklers or soaker hoses outside of the allowed times.
For watering other plants like gardens and shrubs, you should use a hand-held hose/container/drip irrigation. For hand watering, it’s fine to do so at anytime.
