The City of Prince George and provincial government are urging residents to conserve water.
Prince George is facing Level 4 drought conditions, meaning “adverse impacts to socio-economic or ecosystem values are likely,” according to information released by the B.C. Drought Information Portal.
Residents are urged to conserve water by watering lawns sparingly, using only one inch of water per week and in the early morning or later in the evening to avoid evaporation. Residents can also save water by keeping showers to five minutes or less and only running full loads of laundry and dishwashers.“Sprinkling is allowed for even house numbers on even-numbered dates and odd house numbers on odd-numbered dates,” the City of Prince George social media post said.
The water level on the Fraser River at the South Fort George monitoring station was at 5.11 metres on Thursday, down three centimetres from Wednesday and 1.6 metres below normal for this time of year, according to information listed on the provincial website. The water level on the Fraser was categorized as “well below normal.”
