Watering days are in accordance with residential addresses (odd-numbered addresses waters on odd days, even-numbered addresses water on even days). In the case of mobile homes in mobile home parks and strata developments, watering days are determined by bay numbers or unit numbers.
Residents who have installed a new lawn, either by sod or seeding, may apply to the City for a permit to water beyond the conditions set out within the bylaw.
Properties that have automatic sprinkler systems can water grass between midnight and 4 a.m.
The regulations are to ensure there is enough water supply during peak daytime hours, and non-compliance can carry a $100 fine.
