2013 Watering Restrictions
Vancouver officials reminded residents to limit their lawn sprinkling since water demand doubles on the hottest days of summer. “One hour of lawn sprinkling each week is all that’s needed for lawns to remain healthy,” Metro Vancouver’s chair Greg Moore said in a statement. “Why waste high-quality drinking water on lawns?”
From June 1 to Sept. 30, lawn sprinkling is only permitted before 9 a.m. Even-numbered residences can water lawns on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, while odd-numbered residences are permitted on Tuesday,Thursday and Sunday.
The restrictions don’t apply to veggies, flowers, shrubs or trees.
