With the hot, dry weather expected to continue into next week, the City of Kimberley will be implementing Stage 2 Water Restrictions on Monday, July 24 in order to maintain water flows in both the Mark Creek and Matthew Creek water supply.

Residents are reminded that during Stage 2 Water Restrictions:

 Residential properties with an EVEN numbered address, can ONLY water lawns on WEDNESDAYS and SATURDAYS.

 Residential properties with an ODD numbered address, can only water lawns on THURSDAYS and SUNDAYS.

 No watering of residential lawns is permitted on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays.

 Residential properties can water lawns ONLY between 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

 Non-residential properties including City lawns, parks and playfields will have further limitations. Those with EVEN addresses can only water on Wednesday between 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Those with ODD addresses can only water on Tuesdays between the same hours.
