Reminder: Williams Lake Sprinkling Regs

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

During these hot days of summer, the City of Williams Lake is reminding residents to obey lawn sprinkling regulations in order to preserve water, a precious resource for everyone.

Watering of lawns within the City of Williams Lake is not permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Residents are reminded that watering days are in accordance with residential addresses (odd-numbered addresses waters on odd days, even-numbered addresses water on even days).

In the case of mobile homes in mobile home parks and strata developments, watering days are determined by bay numbers or unit numbers. Properties that have automatic sprinkler systems can water grass between 12 and 4 a.m. The sprinkling regulations are in effect until September 30.

The regulations are to ensure there is enough water supply during peak daytime hours, and non-compliance can carry a $100 fine. The City’s bylaw enforcement department will enforce the regulations.

The community’s cooperation is appreciated.
