Water system customers in Oliver are currently in Stage 1 water restrictions that affect outdoor watering only.
Properties that have water flowing through a meter are using domestic groundwater for irrigating and must restrict their irrigating to three days a week using even and odd house numbering as a guideline.
Odd numbered houses – Monday, Wednesday and Saturday
Even numbered houses – Tuesday, Friday and Sunday
Residents are encouraged to adjust their residential underground irrigation systems to water lawns, trees and shrubs between midnight and 7:00 a.m. on their watering day.
Properties that are using water from the Town’s irrigation system or pumping from the canal should consider reducing water use (voluntary at this time).
Irrigation users still need to be aware of their total water usage and try to find ways to improve watering times and systems. They are reminded that the Town’s irrigation canal can still only produce 70 per cent of full capacity due to the damaged siphon during the 2016 Gallagher Lake rock slide.
