The sprinklers can only be used for a maximum of two hours per day between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., or between 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The regional district says the move comes after the area saw "lower-than-average precipitation" in the fall.Vancouver Island is under "Drought Level 3," according to the province, meaning adverse impacts are possible.
"Forecasts indicate the potential for slightly higher than average rainfall and average temperatures this spring, but it is likely that drought conditions will persist due to the long-term low precipitation the region has experienced this winter," said the RDN in a release Wednesday.
