As severe drought conditions persist across the province, the Government of British Columbia is urging everyone to do their part to conserve water.  

Electoral Area D is currently experiencing a drought level 5 (the highest drought level).  In response, Pinecrest, Britannia Beach and Furry Creek water system users are being asked to conserve water through increased watering and sprinkling restrictions:

All sprinkling and irrigation are prohibited.

Using a garden hose to wash outdoor surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways and washing recreational vehicles is prohibited.

Hand watering, drip irrigation, or vegetable garden watering is permitted.
