District of Squamish Stage 2 water restrictions now in effect
District of Squamish Stage 2 water restrictions are now in effect due to extreme hot, dry conditions that have increased outdoor water demand.
Stage 2 divides the community into seven areas, and provides each area with ONE day upon which they can water with a sprinkler:
- Monday - Valleycliffe, Hospital Hill
- Tuesday - Downtown
- Wednesday - Dentville, Business Park, North Yards
- Thursday - Loggers Lane/ Finch Drive, Quest University
- Friday - Garibaldi Highlands
- Saturday - Garibaldi Estates
- Sunday - Brackendale
Even numbered addresses: 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Odd numbered addresses: 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Watering with a hand-held container or device with automatic shut-off is allowed on any day between 6 to 9 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.
Tip: Invest in a reasonably priced timer ($15 to $40 at local hardware stores) to pre-set your sprinkler the night before your designated watering day.
Outdoor water use restrictions are in place to effectively manage the supply and demand of water across the community during the summer months when consumption skyrockets.
To check your watering day view our Outdoor Water Use map.
