## Resource

Metro Vancouver is jumping straight to Stage Three water restrictions starting June 8th—no lawn watering allowed, only bucket, drip, or nozzle-equipped hoses for trees and flowers. Pools, hot tubs, decorative fountains, and home car washing are banned, though boat engine cleaning and commercial car washes are still permitted. This isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s a critical move to preserve drinking water amid a low snowpack and forecasted scorching summer. Compounding the pressure: a major water tunnel project in Stanley Park has sidelined a key North Shore pipeline since last fall, forcing officials to skip Stage One entirely. With summer heat expected to spike water use by over 50%, everyone must cut back to keep the system stable while vital infrastructure gets upgraded.
