## How it works

The Village's [Water System Regulation Bylaw No. 644, 2021](https://villageoftahsis.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/water-bylaw-no.644-2021-.pdf) sets no staged or seasonal sprinkling restriction, no lawn sprinkling days or hours, no exemptions for new lawns and no new-lawn permit. 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.

## Good to know

- 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.
- 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.
- Under Part D, the Director may turn off a private connection for unnecessary or wasteful use of water on 48 hours written notice.
- Water rates are in the Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 594, 2017, Schedule P, as amended by Bylaw No. 679, 2026.
