Metro Vancouver lawn watering restrictions begin next week

Metro Vancouver’s lawn watering regulations will begin next week.
The regional district says Stage 1 water restrictions will commence on Tuesday and remain in place until Oct. 15.
The move, which is two weeks earlier than last year, is a bid to conserve treated drinking water during the hot and dry summer months. 
Residents can water their lawn two mornings per week, down from three, with additional adjustments related to watering trees, shrubs and flowers with a sprinkler.
