The City of Campbell River will be trying out revised water restriction rules this summer and is asking for the community’s feedback on whether the changes better meet residents’ needs.

Running from now until mid-September, transitional restrictions are in place between what was previously known as Stage 1 and Stage 2 to balance the needs of the community with the City’s operational demands. While water restrictions are necessary to ensure flows for essential services like fire protection, previous restrictions have proven to be too significant for the public and do not meet the City’s operational goals.

The community is invited to weigh in on the revised rules so that their feedback can be considered.

Residents are invited to complete the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/water-restrictions-public-survey to share their feedback. Hard copies are also available at City Hall (301 St. Ann's Road, Campbell River, BC V9W 4C7). Learn more about the proposed changes on the City website. The survey is now live and will be online until 4:30 p.m. on September 15, 2022.

Survey participants will also have a chance to enter their contact details at the end of the survey for a chance to win one of three prize packs featuring water conservation tools for around the home (valued at $150 each) or the grand prize of a $250 gift certificate to the Campbell River Garden Centre. All survey responses will remain anonymous.
