• Reduce watering to two days a week, and only during the allotted times
• Reduce irrigation schedules to avoid overwatering
• Only water during cooler hours, such as the late evening or early morning
• Fix leaks promptly
• Only use water when necessary

High water users, such as agricultural operations, were also asked to manage irrigation systems, monitor flow rates, and try to reduce their use by 20 per cent.

“Water restrictions are critical to ensure reliable water supplies for our community throughout the dry summer, to protect fish habitat, and maintain adequate resources for wildfire response,” the District of Coldstream said in a release.

“The success of these restrictions relies on community cooperation and compliance. Working together now while temperatures are lower will help us safeguard water for essential needs in the future when summer temperatures increase.”
