Water Restrictions
When Do Water Restrictions Apply?
Water Restrictions are in effect only from May 1 to August 31. Bylaw infractions incur a fine of $100
for a first offense and $200 for each subsequent offence.
All commercial and residential customers who receive their water supply from the City of Kamloops are required to comply with the following regulations:
Days You Are Allowed To Water
Even numbered property addresses are allowed to sprinkle or irrigate only on
even numbered days.
Odd numbered property addresses are allowed to sprinkle or irrigate only on odd
numbered days.
Where a complex uses internal addresses or other identifying numbers, the internal numbers will be used to establish the appropriate watering day.
On Your Watering Day
You may water your lawn or garden on your allowable Odd or Even watering day during these times:
Spring Loaded Nozzles Only
All outdoor hand use of hoses for other than filling swimming pools and/or hot tubs
shall be equipped with a working spring-loaded shut-off nozzle.
Hand watering of plants using a hose with a working spring-loaded shut-off nozzle or a hand-held container is allowed at any time.
Commercial Properties
Commercial Customers may apply to the Utilities Manager for a variance to the water
restrictions, with any appeal from the Utilities Manager's decision may be made to the
Public Works and Utilities Director.
