- Odd-numbered addresses: 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesday; 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday
The restrictions are in effect until Oct. 15.
A statement from the City of Vancouver said Tuesday that water restrictions remain important during the COVID-19 crisis as residents are home more often and may “spend more time tending lawns and gardens than other years.”
The most recent snowpack surveys in the Capilano, Seymour and Coquitlam watersheds found slightly lower than average levels for this time of year.
Those reservoir levels are expected to reach 100 per cent by June.
