The City has implemented a multi-stage water use restriction strategy to better manage water demand and ensure sufficient supply during summer months and more severe drought conditions. This system permits outdoor water use on designated days of the week, based on the last two numbers of the street address and the current restriction stage, as follows:
* Numbers in parenthesis are the last 2 digits of the street address. Stratas and mobile home parks (MHP) are to use the street address, not the unit address (I.E. the entire strata or MHP will share watering days).
On designated days, outdoor water use is allowed for a maximum of 2 hours in one of the following time periods: •
- 7 AM – 11 AM or 7 PM – 11 PM (choose one of these periods, not both)
- 12 AM – 7 AM (this is the preferred time period for automatic sprinkler systems)
Stage 1 is in effect year-round. Restriction levels will be increased to Stages 2, 3, or 4 depending on environmental conditions, capacity of the water supply system and demand on the system. Residents will be notified of restriction stage changes via sign boards, newspaper, radio, social media and the City’s website.
Visit www.salmonarm.ca/water-restrictions to see the current stage and to view the detailed Water Usage Restrictions information sheet. Look for these signs around the City that will indicate the current stage.
Your co-operation in adhering to these restrictions is greatly appreciated. Residents are encouraged to conserve wherever possible. Failure to comply with these restrictions may result in a fine, metered water rates, or a discontinuation of service. Contact the City for more information at
