Hand-watering with a can or hose with automatic shut-off nozzle will be permitted any time of day, and vegetable gardens can be watered more frequently, and by using a drip irrigation system, but the municipality encourages people to limit their watering time and avoid doing it during the hottest parts of the day to conserve water.

Agricultural properties will have their maximum annual application reduced to 27 inches per acre, and will also be asked to voluntarily reduce their water use by around 10 per cent.

The district said these measures were being put in place as the below-average snowpack and lack of significant spring precipitation had raised concerns about the upland reservoirs not being able to fill ahead of the summer.

The municipality added these early measures and people taking steps to conserve water were intended to help avoid having to put in more restrictive measures later in the summer.
