Stage 3 Water Conservation Measures in Effect for the South Slocan Water System

October 4, 2024

Nelson, BC: Effective immediately, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) has implemented mandatory Stage 3 Water Conservation Measures for the South Slocan Water System in Electoral Area H due to low source water flows and to facilitate adequate night-time reservoir filling and recovery.

Stage 3 Water Conservation Measures include:

• Watering of lawns is prohibited,
• Watering of gardens, trees and shrubs is ONLY permitted between 6:00 am - 10:00 am and 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm,
• Watering using drip irrigation, a watering can, and or hand held hose permitted anytime.

The RDCK appreciates your cooperation in adhering to the above water conservation measures. Stage 3 Water Conservation Measures will remain in effect until further notice. Stricter water conservation measures may be required if demand increases significantly, dry weather persists, or if the reservoir declines to critically low levels.

Additional water conservation measures are available on the RDCK website: www.rdck.ca/water.
