Stage 2 Water Restrictions to take effect on Canada Day

Residents are reminded to save water this summer, as Stage 2 water restrictions take effect Tuesday.

The Comox Valley Regional District says restrictions will be in place for the Comox Valley, Black Creek-Oyster Bay, and Union Bay Water Systems.

The goal of these restrictions is to conserve water and ensure the water systems can handle peak summer demand.

The district says for the Valley, even-numbered homes can water between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. and between 8:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays. For those living in odd-numbered homes, you can water in these same hours only on Wednesdays and Sundays.

“In June 2025, the Comox Valley Regional District Board approved a 25% reduction to these watering times to help further reduce overall water consumption during the dry summer months,” said the CVRD.

“Watering times for the Black Creek-Oyster Bay and Union Bay Water Systems will remain the same from 6:00am – 8:00am and 8:00pm – 10:00pm on the designated days.”

They add that District and City of Courtenay Bylaw teams will patrol areas, issuing warnings and tickets starting at $100 to those not following the restrictions.

Restrictions start July 1.
