By Regional District of Central Kootenay
Effective immediately, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is implementing mandatory Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures for all RDCK water systems.
The RDCK currently operates 18 water systems that includes:
- Balfour
- Burton
- Duhamel
- Edgewood
- Erickson-Arrow Creek
- Fauquier
- Grandview Properties
- Lister
- Lucas Road
- McDonald Creek
- Riondel
- Rosebery Highlands
- Sanca Park
- South Slocan

The RDCK said that Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures have been implemented due to increased demands and near-capacity water treatment plant production, with anticipated extreme hot/dry weather in the forecast.
Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures include:
- Watering of lawns, gardens, trees and shrubs using a sprinkler or irrigation system is ONLY permitted between 6—10 a.m. and 8 — 10 p.m.
- Watering of gardens, trees and shrubs using a hand-held hose with a shut-off nozzle, a watering can, or drip-irrigation system is still permitted anytime.
The RDCK appreciates your cooperation in adhering to the above water conservation measures.
Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures will remain in effect until further notice. Stricter water conservation measures may be required if demand increases significantly or hot and dry weather persists.
