Nelson, BC: Effective immediately, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) has implemented mandatory Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures in the Woodland Heights Water System, located in the subdivision of Taghum, approximately 15 km southwest of Nelson in Electoral Area F.
These measures have been implemented due to high water consumption resulting in continuous operation of the well pump and reduced reservoir levels.
Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures include:
- Watering of lawns, gardens, trees and shrubs is ONLY permitted between 6:00am – 10:00am and 8:00pm – 10:00pm.
- Watering of gardens, trees and shrubs by watering can or hand-held hose is still permitted anytime.
The RDCK appreciates your cooperation in adhering to the above water conservation measures. Stage 2 Water Conservation Measures will remain in effect until further notice. Stricter water conservation measures may be required if demand increases significantly, hot and dry weather persists, or if the reservoir declines to critically low levels.
