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.
