Check the District for the current stage.

## How it works

Logan Lake's [Water Use and Regulations Bylaw 945](<https://loganlake.civicweb.net/document/75614/>) sets restriction stages. The Baseline stage is the default from May 1 to September 30 each year (provincial drought levels 0 to 3). Increased restrictions apply at drought level 4 and Severe at level 5. 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.

## Good to know

- Baseline: odd house numbers water on odd days, even numbers on even days (last digit of the street address).
- Increased: two days a week, odd numbers Tuesday and Saturday, even numbers Thursday and Sunday.
- Severe: sprinklers not permitted. Filling pools, hot tubs, ponds and fountains and washing hard surfaces are also not permitted.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Tickets: warning first, then $100, $200 and $500. A court may also fine $100 to $2,000.
- 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.). Bylaw 945 repealed it, so confirm with the Municipal Office.
