Lawn Sprinkling Regulations Due to unseasonably dry and hot weather, and record low inflows to reservoirs,
Metro Vancouver has further restricted water use and Stage 3 Lawn Sprinkling Regulations are now in effect. Restrictions include: A ban on all lawn sprinkling. Treated drinking water may not be used for sprinkling of any kind, however, residential vegetables, flowers, shrubs, plants and trees may be watered by hand with a container or spring-loaded shut-off nozzle. Vehicle and boat washing is prohibited, except for windows, mirrors, lights,
and licence plates for safety reasons. Residential swimming pools, hot tubs, and garden ponds may not be refilled or topped up. Power and pressure washing, and washing any outdoor impermeable surfaces is only allowed for health and safety purposes. Water exemption permits, such as those under phase two for nematode treatment and new lawns, are cancelled. Read full regulations here: metrovancouver.org.
