Mandatory Watering Restrictions

Effective July 14, the City of Kimberley implemented the following mandatory watering restrictions:

Residents of properties with even-numbered addresses water only on even-numbered days.

Residents of properties with odd-numbered addresses water only on odd-numbered days.

Watering is to be done between the hours of 4 to 10 a.m. AND 6 to 10 p.m.

The city intends to actively enforce these restrictions with penalties for repeat offenders. Please see the latest news section of our website at http://www.kimberley.ca/news or contact the operations desk by phone at (250) 427-9660 or email [email protected] for more information.

What is the City of Kimberley Doing to Conserve Water?

The city has installed a system called Flow Works to collect and analyze data related to the city’s water system. This assists water utility crews with locating and repairing water leaks in a timely manner. The five-year capital plan includes the systematic replacement of leaky water mains throughout the city. By reducing the consumption of water, we can all help reduce the cost of water treatment and extend the life of the existing water system.
