Are you thinking before you’re sprinkling?
The City of West Kelowna is reminding residents to follow stage one water regulations, which are always in effect, unless a need for further conservation becomes necessary:
Odd-numbered addresses can water on odd calendar days.
Even-numbered addresses can water on even calendar days.
Watering between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. is prohibited – the hottest time of the day is the worst time to water your lawn anyway and helps your grass the least:
• Automatically controlled underground sprinkling systems (residential and commercial) may only sprinkle between the hours of 12 to 6 a.m. on the days permitted by the sprinkling regulations as described above.
• Manually controlled sprinklers (residential and commercial), including those attached to outside taps, may only operate from 6 to 11 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. on the days permitted.
• Only 1.5 diameter outlet (outside tap) may be used at one time for sprinkling, and further, it is not permissible to use an open pipe or hose for irrigating purposes.
