The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is alerting residents of Union Bay Water System that they will move to Stage 2 water restrictions beginning Thursday, July 25, 2024.
“Water restrictions for the Union Bay Water System are necessary to ensure sufficient water supply capacity throughout the summer and to reduce strain on existing infrastructure,” explained Marc Rutten, General Manager of Engineering Services. “Water demand is greatly increased when hot and dry conditions continue so we’re asking residents to remain diligent and thoughtful in how much water your household is using.”
During Stage 2 water restrictions, residential properties may only be watered between the hours of 5:00 am and 8:00 am and 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm, on Tuesday and Saturday for even numbered addresses, and on Wednesday and Sunday for odd numbered addresses.
In addition to restricted watering days, no residential property may exceed 50 cubic metres (m³) of water usage per monthly period during Stage 2, with commercial properties restricted to 300 m³.
