The City of Cranbrook has decided to keep Stage 2 watering restrictions in place.
In a report to council last night, deputy director of Public Works, Jason Perrault reported the Phillips Reservoir remains full, but the level has dropped slightly.
Water levels on Joseph and Gold creeks, however, continue to ease, down about 4 inches in the past two weeks.
The average daily consumption of water by its residents, according to the latest update – about 13.7 million litres per day, an increase of over 459,000 in just a two-week time frame.
Part of that demand, Perrault believes, is linked to the watering of lawns.
Under Stage 2, even-numbered properties can water between 5 and 10AM and 8 and 11PM Mondays and Thursdays; odd-numbered homes, the same hours, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
