BCWID#1 is asking all customers to be mindful of wasting water and suggests to its customers not already doing so to restrict water from outdoor sprinkling, watering lawns, shrubs and washing of automobiles to twice per week. The District will also suggest that customers employ “time of day” restrictions.  Please check with your retail water provider for the exact restrictions that you fall under.
