Town of Creston enters into Stage 1 water conservation measures

Stage 1 water conservation measures are now in effect in the Town of Creston and all other residences on a Regional District of Central Kootenay water system.

The measures came into effect June 1 and will be in place until September 30. However, they may increase to one of the three additional stages if water demand spikes due to hot and dry weather, or if reservoirs decline to critically low levels. 

Stage 1 measures mean you can only water your lawns, gardens, trees, and shrubs between 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. However, watering using drip irrigation, a watering can, or a handheld hose is still permitted at any time. 

More information on RDCK water conservation measures and a complete description of stages 1 through 4 can be found here.
