The Comox Valley Water System will be under Stage 1 water restrictions beginning Monday, May 1, 2023, which come into effect at this time every year.

Under Stage 1, lawn and garden sprinkling is permitted between the hours of 5 am – 8 am and 7 pm – 10 pm, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for even numbered addresses and Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for odd numbered addresses.

Water Services Manager Mike Herschmiller says this is the time of year where water use begins to increase as the weather improves and the yards are growing again.

He says that with the recent wet weather, water restrictions may seem unnecessary, however as we move into the warmer, drier season, they’re reminding residents to “be aware of their water use and understand the importance of water conservation.”

The Comox Valley Water System includes the Town of Comox, City of Courtenay, and the Comox Valley Water Local Service Area. 

Residents can download  the summer watering schedule at Comox Valley Regional District.
