Water ban on till September

Move is still dependent on the weather

THIS SUMMER’S region-wide watering ban will likely be
removed next month, according to Greater Vancouver

Regional District (GVRD) spokesman Bud Elsie.

“The reservoirs are not far off
from where they historically have
been at this time of year,’’ Elsie
said Friday. ‘“‘As of right now,
however, the enforcement of the
watering ban has not changed.’’

Elsie cautioned that the possi-
bility of lifting the ban is‘ still
totally dependent on the weather:
if it doesn’t rain, the ban will
continue.

The unprecedented ban on
sprinkling in the Lower Mainland
-area, imposed on June 26, was
originally implemented to continue
until sufficient rainfall could
replenish supplies in regional

on the North Shore.

But the unseasonably dry sum-
‘mer has kept the ban in place for
over two months.

The GVRD must now determine
how to manage the lifting of the

GVRD’s water system could not
handle the sudden increase in de-
mand.

The GVRD is currently looking
south to Seattle to determine the
best way to lift the ban.

The American city imposed a

similar watering ban on June i2
and is now reducing water restric-
tions for some of its residents.

“We're looking at all the op-
tions,”? the GVRD spokesman
said. ‘“Two weeks ago Victoria
started allowing some _ residents
extended watering rights according
to the last number in their street
address. That’s a possibility for
us.”*

Elsie also said that the ban
could be lifted on a staggered,
municipality-by-municipality
basis.
