The Village posts one-off conservation notices instead, for example a \"conserve water until further notice\" notice in November 2024 that was later cancelled. Those are dated notices, not standing rules.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- To find out if a notice is in effect now, check the Village's website notices or call the Municipal Office at (250) 934-6344 or Public Works at (250) 934-6337.\n- No ticket amount for water restrictions is set. Part A s. 5(c) of the bylaw sets a fine of up to $10,000 for each day of a continuing offence.\n- Under Part D, the Director may turn off a private connection for unnecessary or wasteful use of water on 48 hours written notice.\n- Water rates are in the Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 594, 2017, Schedule P, as amended by Bylaw No. 679, 2026.","sources":[{"url":"https://villageoftahsis.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/water-bylaw-no.644-2021-.pdf","title":"Water System Regulation Bylaw No. 644, 2021 (PDF), Village of Tahsis","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 1 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 4 are recorded as not set; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/tahsis/water-restrictions/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/tahsis/water-restrictions.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/tahsis/water-restrictions.json"}}
