Summer Lawn Watering Reducing to Once per Week in Metro Vancouver

Grassy Park

Due to climate change and the continued increase in population, new summer water usage restrictions will be in effect this summer across Metro Vancouver.

Between May 1 and October 15 every year, the following lawn watering restrictions will automatically be in effect:

Residental even-numbered civic addresses may only water lawns on Saturdays:

  • Automatic watering from 5 am to 7 am
  • Manual watering from 6 am to 9 am

Residental odd-numbered civic addresses may only water lawns on Sundays:

  • Automatic watering from 5 am to 7 am
  • Manual watering from 6 am to 9 am

Non-residential even-numbered civic addresses may only water lawns on Mondays:

  • Automatic watering from 4 am to 6 am
  • Manual watering from 6 am to 9 am

Non-residential odd-numbered civic addresses may only water lawns on Tuesdays:

  • Automatic watering from 4 am to 6 am
  • Manual watering– from 6 am to 9 am

You can water trees, shrubs, and flowers using a sprinkler daily before 9 am or any time of day using a handheld hose, soaker hose, water container, or drip irrigation.

All lawn watering will be prohibited if the region must enter stage 2 water restriction to preserve the drink water supply.

Langley City will advertise these changes on social media, in the newspaper, and the property tax notices in the summer.

With food shortages coming, why do lawns exist? And in the Township, many are well over an acre.....
