Learn about Burnaby's watering restrictions and how they apply to you.
Stage 1 watering restrictions are in effect from May 1 to October 15. These restrictions help us use our drinking water wisely and ensure we have a regular supply throughout the year.
You can find the full details of water use regulations for Stages 1 to 4 in Metro Vancouver's Drinking Water Conservation Plan, which helps manage:
- drinking water supply during summer when rainfall is low and demand is high
- water shortages during unforeseen emergencies (e.g. earthquake, service disruptions)
- limited storage capacity of reservoirs
- increased demand due to continued population and industrial growth
Stage 1
During Stage 1 restrictions, you can water your lawns with a sprinkler, handheld hose or drip irrigation once a week only. All hoses must have an automatic shut-off device.
If there's a violation during this phase, it may result in a $150 fine.
