An elevated stage takes effect 24 hours after it is announced on the District's communication platforms. The standing rules are below; the current stage is not a standing rule, so check the District's water conservation notice.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Baseline: odd house numbers water on odd days, even numbers on even days (last digit of the street address).\n- Increased: two days a week, odd numbers Tuesday and Saturday, even numbers Thursday and Sunday.\n- Severe: sprinklers not permitted. Filling pools, hot tubs, ponds and fountains and washing hard surfaces are also not permitted.\n- At all stages: no irrigation from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. only automated irrigation systems.\n- Hand watering with a hose that has a working spring-loaded nozzle has no restrictions at any stage. Drip irrigation and food gardens are not mentioned.\n- No new-lawn or sod exemption is named. A permit to use water contrary to the restriction plan may be requested from the Director of Public Works; forms are at the Municipal Hall.\n- Tickets: warning first, then $100, $200 and $500. A court may also fine $100 to $2,000.\n- The District's web notices and Public Works page still quote the older Waterworks Bylaw 839 and its hours (no sprinkling 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.).
