WATER SCARCITY LEVEL: HIGH
A HIGH Water Scarcity Level has remained for the Okanagan and Similkameen.
While the weather may be changing, the need to conserve water isn’t!
Every drop counts. Here are a few simple ways you can help:
💧Skip watering your lawn — it’s getting plenty of water from the rain!
💧Take shorter showers and reduce your overall water use wherever possible.
💧Run your dishwasher less often and only when it’s full.
💧Fix leaks — even small leaks can waste a surprising amount of water.
