Trees, shrubs and decorative gardens may be watered daily before 9 a.m. Food-bearing gardens are exempt from restrictions until stage 4 in both municipalities.

“While our water system can easily meet average day demands, our summer demands can be much higher,” said the City of Mission. “Water restrictions are in place to benefit the whole community and ensure that we continue to have a reliable quantity of water available all summer.”

The City of Abbotsford is also asking residents and businesses to let their lawns naturally go dormant during dry periods until wetter conditions return.

Abbotsford Mission Water and Sewer Commission staff will monitor water resources, drought conditions and critical infrastructure throughout the season and move into a higher stage of restrictions if needed.
