## How it works

The Village of Kaslo's Water Conservation Measures policy (adopted November 14, 2017, Resolution 212/2017) sets Stage 1 measures from June 1 to September 30 every year. The Village may impose further measures (Stages 2 to 4) when needed, communicated by posting, social media or the [Village website](https://www.kaslo.ca/p/water-conservation). Check there for the current stage.

## Steps

1. Check the Village website or call the Village Office (250-353-2311) for the current stage.
2. Ask for the table of permitted watering times; it is not in the readable text of the policy online.

## Good to know

- Watering days and times, and exemptions for things like new lawns or gardens, are not stated in any readable official text. The policy does not mention new lawns.
- Council or the CAO reviews requests to vary or relax the restrictions in specific situations, and any approval is issued in writing.
- The policy provides for Water Smart warning flags and, in serious cases, shutting off water after one written warning.
- Ticket: $100 for unauthorized watering of lawns outside designated times ([Municipal Ticketing Bylaw No. 1294](https://kaslo.civicweb.net/document/17241/), Schedule 14). The Waterworks Bylaw No. 1127 it cites was not found online.
