The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) will be moving to Stage 3 water restrictions on Tuesday, June 23, due to BC Hydro reducing water flows down the Puntledge River. These restrictions will apply to any residence in the Town of Comox, City of Courtenay, K’omoks First Nation and the Comox Valley Water Local Service Area.
During Stage 3 water restrictions, no lawn watering is permitted at any time. Residents are also prohibited from pressure washing driveways and boulevards; filling a swimming pool, hot tub or garden pond; or washing a vehicle or boat other than in a commercial car wash or car dealership.
Residents are allowed to water trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables on any day at any time only if watering is done with a hand-held container, a hand-held hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle, or micro-irrigation/drip-irrigation systems.
