Water-smart Reminders

Do Your Part - Conserve & Reserve

ourwatermatters.ca604-864-5514

• All hoses must be equipped with a spring loaded shut-off device.

• Watering of flowers, trees, shrubs and vegetables may be carried out using a handheld wand, a hose with a spring loaded shut-off device, or a sprinkler at anytime in Stages 1 and 2.

• Remember to check online at ourwatermatters.ca to see what Stage is in effect. Water Restrictions begin May 1 and end September 30 each year.

• Use a rain barrel to collect rainwater to water plants and gardens through the summer. Rain barrels are available through the City of Abbotsford and District of Mission Engineering Departments.

• Choose waterwise plants like drought-tolerant turf grasses.

• Remember that healthy lawns only need 1 inch of water a week.

• Mow high (leave grass at least 3 inches in height) and leave grass clippings.

• Clean off driveways and sidewalks with a broom, not the hose.

• Wash your car on the grass. It’s better to drive a dirty car in the summer, but if you must wash it, give the grass a drink at the same time!
