Residents and business owners were successful in conserving water in all of the RDCK water systems this summer. This year, stricter water conservation measures were in place in the Balfour, Mc Donald Creek, Riondel, Woodland Heights and Erickson Water Systems.
The RDCK’s Water Smart program contributed greatly to this year’s success in water conservation efforts. The main objective of the 2017 Water Smart program was to raise local awareness of sustainable water use.
Two summer ambassadors were able to attend community events, deliver educational workshops and knock on over 500 local doors to provide water conservation information. The Water Smart ambassadors responded to overwatering concerns and completed 89 Water Smart assessments in participating water systems.
The RDCK appreciates the cooperation of water users in adhering to the water conservation measures. Beginning October 1, all Water Conservation Measures will be rescinded in the RDCK Water systems.
