People in the area at odd-numbered addresses can run sprinklers and automatic irrigation systems during the morning and nighttime hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays. People at even-numbered addresses will have the same water usage on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Stage 2 restrictions still prioritize protecting clean drinking water for Kelowna residents and water for safety purposes, including fire mitigation, Weremy added.
