On June 15, 2023, Stage 3 outdoor watering restrictions will come into effect for customers in all Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) Water Service Areas (except for Decourcey Water Service Area which will remain at Stage 4). Stage 3 restrictions maintain the same even and odd day watering framework as Stage 2, while requesting residents further reduce consumption to defer a comprehensive watering ban. The Province of BC currently lists Eastern Vancouver Island at Drought Level 3 “Adverse Impacts Possible” and is calling for voluntary reduction of water use.
