Stage 3 Water Restrictions Take Effect August 16

The Comox Valley Water System will move to Stage 3 water restrictions beginning Monday August 16, 2021. These Stage 3 restrictions include the Town of Comox, City of Courtenay, and the Comox Valley Water Local Service Area.

During Stage 3 water restrictions, residential lawn and garden watering with a sprinkler is not 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 between the hours of 6 am to 8 am and 8 pm to 10 pm only if watering is done by a hand-held container, a hand-held hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle, micro-irrigation or drip-irrigation systems.
