Water restrictions implemented in Spallumcheen

Spallumcheen has initiated Stage 2 water restrictions due to stress on the township’s water system.

During Stage 2, no one is allowed to use sprinkler or irrigation systems to water a lawn, garden trees or shrubs, or wash driveways, sidewalks, parking lots or exterior building surfaces.

Only hand-watering is allowed between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to midnight. Even numbered addresses are permitted to water during those hours on even days of the calendar, while odd numbered addresses are permitted on odd days.

Watering a lawn, flower or vegetable garden, trees, shrubs or landscaped area can be done with a hand-held container or with a hose equipped with a shut-off nozzle during the prescribed Stage 1 watering hours, but only if the combined space does not exceed one acre.
