Stage 1 Water Restriction in Effect

Sechelt is now on Stage 1 water restrictions. Each year, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) enacts Stage 1 automatically on May 1st to promote water conservation and ensure water supply and treatment systems can meet the large seasonal increase in outdoor water use during the summer.

Treated water is expensive and precious. Rethinking how we use treated water will help everyone in the long run.
