The City of Cranbrook will be moving to Stage 2 watering restrictions effective on Thursday, August 6.

Moving to Stage 2 watering restrictions means that you may only water two days per week. Even numbered addresses may only water on Monday or Thursday, and odd numbered addresses many only water Tuesday and Friday between the hours of 5 to 10 a.m. or 8 to 11 p.m. – not both – to a maximum of two hours.

These restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.

Watering of vegetable gardens may continue as long as you water using a handheld shut-off nozzle on your hose. Use of water outdoors to wash windows, driveways, sidewalks or building surfaces including windows is no longer allowed under Stage 2 restrictions.

Staff will also begin reducing outdoor water use in priority two and three greenspaces around the city including most parks and playgrounds, Lions Park, the Kinsmen Greenbelt, and the cemetery.

Irrigation levels will be maintained for now in Rotary Park, Moir Park, the Kinsmen Quads and Confederation ball parks, and the boulevard along Highway 3/95.
